Store Description

Barry's Books has been in existence for approximately 40 years. I have bought and sold various books of a general nature in over 35 states and 15 countries. My inventory, although small by most standards is unique in that I have collected some of the most unusual and hard to find titles in the best condition possible. Many of the books are signed, limited editions, first editions, or unusual illustrated editions. I am slowly liquidating my personal collection of books which have never before been offered.
