We special–order books, read books and have an excellent track record of locating out–of–print books for our customers. Both in–store shoppers and telephone orders are welcome. We delight in face–to–face transactions, but attend to domestic and international phone–in mail orders promptly as well. Our inventory is NOT computerized, apart from over 3,700 collectible titles listed with AbeBooks. We are proud to rely on our brains instead.
