Store description

We've spent decades collecting & selling books, atlases, antique maps & much more. Time to spread my online presence to help a more people find that rare or unusual history book, or stunning antique maps & atlases. We will be replacing our inventory regularly & as a rule we only sell items in Very Good Plus condition or better. The majority of the history books we sell are largely based within the years 1000-1950, and are largely European or Middle East related. We also sell genuine antique maps & atlases generally from the 1700 & 1800's, plus related geographical pieces. Our books are predominantly political, academic, biographic, history & military books - anything you need, just ask & hopefully we can find it so you. The same applies to our antique maps, we have a large unlisted inventory in storage, so want to see somewhere between 1700-1900 likely to be able to help. Any other questions at all - please message.
