Some of the books needing to be catalogued next [December, 2025]

June, 2026.

Greetings and welcome.

Over the past 40 years dealing in the antiquarian book business my basic approach has been to treat everyone I meet kindly, friendly and with respect, like potential life-time connections. Basically, whoever you are, wherever you are around the U.S. or the world, I am looking to be a reliable source- an easy going and relaxed dealer who is on your side when it comes to commerce in old books, maps and paper. 
My exposure to the type of material you find here is deep and broad over this time, I’ve examined countless millions of individual old and antique book and paper artifacts and my personal collection runs into the hundreds of thousands of collectible historical old paper items of all types and eras, selected from multiples of items around them. I am surrounded with antiquarian material everywhere I go all day long, it’s in almost every room, often in piles, cases full, etc.

Everything I handle is printed long ago (typically over 50 years old but more often 100 plus years ago), primarily on paper or any hand made miniature objects, mostly in loose single sheet format or as books, ephemera, etc. This deliberately and carefully curated selection of antique and vintage items possesses fairly obvious historical, aesthetic and often monetary value, and here-in lies their modern appeal for all of us.

I stand behind everything I sell and offer an Unconditional Satisfaction Guaranteed 30-day Returns.

Authenticity of everything I offer is unconditionally guaranteed for life to be as described, you will never buy "fakes" or reproductions posing as old, etc. from me of any kind, period. I’ve had a 30 days no hassle refund policy since day one, and I'm happy to report is rarely used. Over the years I have received back (for any reason, actually) fewer than 1 out of every 5,000+ orders I process, maybe even fewer than that, so this is a good sign that the pictures and listing descriptions match the the object and expectations of the buyer as it is seen upon arrival. 

My positive digital rare book dealer reputation is readily verifiable for instance by my membership in IOBA (Independent Online Booksellers Association), IOBA is a vibrant and intelligent professional association which at it's core cares about books existing and being kept alive in the world. IOBA actively monitor's its members and the public, so no deadbeats or cheats allowed. I also have extensive multi-decades 100% positive feedback on my various eBay ID's, but that is a different realm unto itself. 

You are dealing with a real person who cares about the world and other people and is doing their best to generate only positive energy everywhere I go and with everything I do. Whether In person or online, it’s the same set of basic, long widely recognized rules and principles that apply, which is take care of others and others will take care of you.

Once you buy something and it's been shipped (Mon- Friday) always with visible online tracking, I'm on your side. I want the parcel to get to you because in the end because I want you to be happy. Your satisfaction is the natural end result of the whole endeavor. My hope with every transaction is you'll feel satisfied and be happy to return in the future for more commerce.

Thank you for your support over all these years! I’m looking forward to creating many more.
