Store Description

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does ?structure? (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the ?agency? of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals?

Versus to verses?we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana.

Shipping Terms

Most orders will ship within one to two business days, but often times, they
will go out on the same day as they are ordered. I've based my shipping

monitored. Please contact us if there is anything extra or different you
