Carothers and Carothers

Carothers and Carothers is an independent bookselling firm specializing in the scholarly out-of-print and antiquarian market. Frank Carothers, the elder partner, has retired from the Library of the University of California at Berkeley after more than thirty years of collection management related work. Sara Carothers, the younger partner, is a recent graduate of the University of San Francisco, where she studied Japanese and French. We believe that books have value as content, form, and artifact; and that these values are compromised when they are treated as commodities. It is our intent that this principle be reflected in the descriptions and the prices of the works that we offer.
