Store Description

I have been selling Old, Vintage Books and Ephemera since 1999. I love that a book starts with an idea, is honed and polished into a finished text, is published in a particular way, then captures and captivates. Sometimes, it is the object itself, sometimes the content. Regardless, is treasured and kept. Sometimes finding a new owner. And so on, continuously cultivating a history. My aim is to take good photographs, write clear descriptions, and honor the ongoing life of the book. A link in the chain. Where possible, I like to source and use quality recycled packaging items, and all books are wrapped carefully to ensure they arrive in the same condition as they leave. It is with gratitude and thanks to all customers, I play my small part in the life of a book or item.
