Timbuktu Books is an online vintage and antiquarian book business located in Seattle, Washington. My offerings are focused on travel, adventure, history, and exploration. I also sell many other types of nonfiction, as well as literature, first editions, leather-bound volumes, author-signed volumes, original manuscripts, and images. I?m particularly interested in old books and photos of China and other parts of Asia, Africa and the West. I am a member of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA).
