Hello and welcome to my personal spot within the modern digital world of old & rare books, maps and collectible antique printed images. 

I've been offering interesting, rare, desirable and visually appealing antiquarian items without interruption for over 40 years, with assistants helping the entire way. This began in 1984 with 20+ years operating a seven days a week public used & rare book shop in several different locations in Portsmouth, NH, followed for the past 20+ years by our endless flow of daily digital offerings catalogued from both downtown Dover (565 & 567 Central Ave) and Milton Mills, NH (pic above). 

I'm now semi-retired, which means I only work an hour or two a day and have delegated most of the daily tasks to my trusted full-time assistant Alex. I also no longer work weekends. I am an active zen practitioner and spend my time daily walking in nature, meditating, reading and listening to lectures, traveling around the U.S. & Europe and generally spending as much time outside, in the present moment in physical reality as possible.

I used to actively participate in various social media platforms and the largely self-promotional, attention-seeking online world of social media but have realized that the mental energy flow it generates doesn't make me feel harmonious or peaceful so I simply no longer engage in most of it. It was fun while it lasted but it ultimately does not result in peace of mind nor internal happiness and it somehow rewires a brain in a less than positive manner.

My basic life/ business approach is to treat everyone I meet politely, kindly, and with respect like potential life-time connections. 

Everything I handle is printed long ago (virtually always over 50 years old), primarily on paper by hand, mostly in loose single sheet format or as books. This thoughtfully and deliberately curated range of antique and vintage items possess fairly obvious historical, aesthetic and/or monetary value, and here-in lies their modern appeal for all of us.

We stand behind everything we sell and offer an Unconditional Satisfaction Guaranteed 30-day Returns. Authenticity of everything we offer is unconditionally guaranteed for life to be as described, you will never buy "fakes" or reproductions from us of any kind, period. 

Our reliable positive digital rare book dealer reputation is verifiable by our membership in IOBA (Independent Online Booksellers Association)- you are dealing with real people who care about the world and their customers, whoever they are, wherever they are in the world. 

Once you buy something from us and it's been shipped (Mon- Friday) with visible online tracking, we're always on your side. In the end, we want you to be happy when you deal with us. Your satisfaction is the end result of the whole endeavor. Our hope with every transaction is you'll return in the future for more commerce and you'll recommend us to your friends.  

Namaste and kind regards,
