Store description

As with many booksellers, I buy entire collections rather as well as individual titles, which has led to an ever-growing and wonderfully diverse inventory. While metaphysical and occult works remain a favorite, the collection now includes a remarkable selection of geology books, which has become the largest category in the store. You'll also find beautifully illustrated juvenile fiction with memorable dust jacket art, classic murder mysteries, science fiction, history, and a wide variety of nonfiction subjects. One of the joys of Crossroads Books is never knowing what treasure will appear next. Exploring new genres, discovering unusual publishers, and continually expanding the inventory are at the heart of what I do. Whether you're searching for a specific title or simply enjoy browsing for unexpected finds, I hope you'll discover books that inform, inspire, and delight.…
