Store Description

3,000 sq ft 35,000 + books mostly out of print, rare, many foreign language. especially strong in NATIVE AMERICA, WESTERN AMERICANA,SCIENCE, TECHNICAL,ART. Been here 30+. No international orders please too many scammers (Australians) and constantly changing rules and people in Germany complaining and adding weird new hoops (Extended Producer Responsibility) to jump through. Every country wants it's own tax form and tax ID and and VAT Number and IOSS ID or countless other acronyms that change weeksly and it's not worth it for us sorry.
