Store description

I am not a professional bookseller or dealer. I'm a book lover and have been collecting books since the early 1950s, but now age and finances require transferring them into other hands who can appreciate them. For now, most sale books are in the horror, SF, fantasy, and mystery fiction categories. Many of these books were purchased from specialized dealers such as Gerry de la Ree and Robert Weinberg, others directly from publishers such as Donald M. Grant and Underwood-Miller. I corresponded with some authors, including August Derleth and Joseph Payne Brennan (I was on my way to visit Derleth in early July, 1971, when I learned that he had just died.) I plan to list additional items in horror/SF, crime fiction, the environment, geology, general fiction, topographic maps, artwork, and lots more. All items, including their condition, will be described as accurately as possible. I'm just getting started, so be patient and keep checking for more books and information.
