Store description
In Libris Veritas specializes in vintage, antique, collectible, and obscure non-fiction. While this may be too broad to define as a single category, it allows us to buy, sell, and collect books that interest readers and collectors, and which often end up on our own bookshelves when we forget to sell them. Some of the areas we specialize in are medicine, engineering, technology, psychology, agriculture, the occult, religion, spirituality, and militaria. We are second-generation booksellers. Our family has been in the book trade since 1975, when my mother was an antiquarian book dealer.…
