COLLECTOR'S OLD BOOK SHOP

Over 5,000 items.

I have been in the old book and antique business since 1974 (37 years). I had open shops for twenty seven years. I have liquidated several inventories. This past year several exceptional opportunities knocked so I acquired a considerable hoard of historical documents, books and antiques. Inventories like the one offered here usually take years to accumulate. I may open a shop again because my shops were where I enjoyed the daily adventures of a treasure hunter and where I have met most of my closest friends. While I contemplate my past, present and future you have a unique serendipitous opportunity to purchase a diverse inventory. I have added to the collection and I have sold from it, but the overall value continually grows. Hundreds of documents beg to be transcribed and researched. Books and antiques have also been added recently. Whether your interested in Internet sales, an open shop or an awesome personal collection you should consider looking at these two rooms full of interesting historical collectibles.

The collection includes Books, pamphlets, post cards, photographs, prints, documents, manuscripts, ephemera, memorabilia, letters, ledgers, maps, shelving, furniture & etc. Fills over 400 square feet. You can better than double your investment on this diverse inventory. There is much more here than pictured or described.
