how to sell 

We are always looking for good books.

And we are happy to travel for house calls, evaluate & discern what you have, and make a competitive offer if you have titles we need. We act with your best interest in mind and conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity. We are proud object stewards!

Of particular interest are quality, used books in the topics of:

sciences (medicine, astronomy, geology, regional, plants), technologies (manufacturing, industry, inventions, scientific instruments, diagrams and blueprints) and societal matter (arts, behavior, traditional crafts, photography, documents, letters) however we are interested in the unusual in all categories. Archives and intentionally-collected groupings, such as mundane & ephemeral paper (ticket stubs, receipts, journals, trade catalogs, cookbooks, maps, propaganda, newsletters, posters, etc.) & objects (folk art, mending samplers, period clothing - victorian, wool gaberdine, linen, workwear, bark cloth, even with holes/repairs & china with stapled/metal repairs) are of interest to me bc they have the potential to illuminate more about the daily lives of everyday people.

Pictures are a great place to start. Old does not necessarily mean rare. Condition is important.
