Store Description

My mother, Betty Evans, wrote cookbooks and was food editor for the South Bay of Los Angeles' Easy Reader. My father was an artist. My sisters and I inherited their library. It includes 1000's of cooking, art, and other beautiful and rare books of literary significance and letters from their provenance - Juliet Child, M.F.K. Fisher, etc. My parents ensured that I followed in their stead. I have collected many signed by my provenance, leaders in diving, underwater photography, and the Oceans - Sylvia Earle, Ernest Brooks, Jean Michel Cousteau, Wyland, Willard Bascom, too many to mention. And I enjoy reading about UFO's and have many historically significant exposes in this genre. It's time to share these with more than my bookshelves, so please enjoy seeing what we next upload and help me in moving these onto those who will care and enjoy these treasures. My wife and I have owned and operated online stores since the beginning of the world-wide web. Seriously, one of my sites was one of the first 200,000 web pages. We have systems in place to quickly and safely ship, and are personally available to answer any and all questions, and otherwise give you the service you deserve.
