We have two levels with over 40,000 titles covering virtually all genres with a particular focus on Americana and Western Americana. We also offer book/document restoration services (and in some cases, re-binding) When possible we try to use materials that match the period in which the book was originally created so that the alterations are as non discrete as possible. We are always interested in buying books, historical documents, movie memorabilia and misc. artifacts as well as other items of historical significance such as art, letters, diaries, maps and military-related pieces.
