Store Description

OJ-Books was founded in 2016 as a website platform for one collector to sell collectable books to others. Its initial stock was a large library of modern first editions, classic and modern literature, and poetry built up by 'OJ' over a period of some 20 years. That initial stock is now being continually expanded with the addition of uncommon and interesting books but primarily in the fields of PRIVATE PRESS and FINE PRESS featuring those private presses which are still operating or have been operating until the recent past. OJ-Books prides itself on the quality of its stock, careful descriptions and stock management and conservation.
