Store description
A bookseller's son and lifelong collector, I am now selling of my collection to make room for new acquisitions. All images are of my own books (no stock images used). I was taught to pack my items securely and to post promptly. I have a broad range of interests, but specialize in books on the book trade, including memoirs, histories, critical studies, and fiction.
