We are still here and have been making some amazing acquisitions








Thanks for looking at our blog and we are happy to be posting some good news about the store- we are moving higher on the local search results for bookstores in town and have been able to acquire some high quality books that are improving our stock and exciting to deal in.  We purchased a collection of high end fashion books, some of which are listed now and some photos of a book about Grace Coddington, the legendary stylist at Vogue, are pictured below.  We've also purchased some beautiful sets from the 1800s which are in solid shape and extremely decorative, for any of you reading this who appreciate the finer aspects of book binding.  We have 34 volumes of Walpole's writings bound in the same leather binding as the last photo, along with a beautiful 6 volume set of Smollett's Works from 1806.  We have purchased books on Ferraris, samurai swords, Oregon history and lots of stuff in between.  Please take a look at the photos below and let us know if you have anything special or interesting that you would like talk to us about selling.  Thanks for looking.
