About the Author

David MacLean has been an antiquarian bookseller since 1968 in Decatur, Indiana, 15 miles north of the Limberlost country near Geneva that Mrs. Porter immortalized in her nature tales, 30 miles east of her childhood homes at LaGro and Wabash, and 40 miles south of her later home at Rome City, Indiana - this is Gene Stratton-Porter country! Mr. MacLean's researches led to the publication of the first bibliography of Mrs. Porter's works in 1976. A smaller revised guide was published in 1987 and this second revised edition includes additional information and more recent prices.

Store Description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
