Store Description

I'm a booklover with a collection of around 3,000 books, most of them nonfiction, including history, politics, biography, sports, and social science, but also with some classic fiction titles from Don Quixote to Deliverance. I have mostly hardcover but also paperback, and I'm sort of a perfectionist, so I won't collect or sell a book that's not in good shape. I don't list my phone number, but if you'd like to talk about the specifics of a particular book of mine, feel free to contact me via email and give me your call-back number.
