It's a Christmas Miracle!

We have finally gotten around to clearing out our large glass case which has been the holding place for all of our most rare books for the last 30 years.  Unfortunately for the last 5 it has been very difficult to get an idea of what we actually had for sale in there as it was overcrowded and disorganized.  After spending a couple of long hours working on it yesterday, things have now changed.  I have cleared out the rare works of academia which it is unlikely anyone will purchase on a whim, re-organized the books and most importantly positioned things so that nearly every book is now able to be seen clearly.  We encourage you to come in to see what we have, as we have been purchasing some new items such as a First Edition of Kerouac's Dharma Bums, important Ansel Adams books of photography, a rare Hemingway edition of Fiesta, a sixth printing of Joyce's Ulysses published by Shakespeare and Co, along with many others.  I am attaching photos to the post so that you can see the case in all its new-found glory and we hope to see you in person soon.  Thanks again for visiting and we hope that you are well.

Best,








Nile and Jon
