Store Description

Our books are primarily technical, in the fields of aquaculture, biochemistry, microbiology, photosynthesis and medicine., I have a wide selection of books on firearms as well. We are liquidating a large personal library, an accumulation of scientific information spanning 75 years. Many of our books are quite rare. We will work thru listing the library in sequential areas (aquaculture first) and focus on single areas at one at a time. Keep coming back to see where our focus goes.
