Dear Book Lovers and Collectors,
I have been accumulating for years a number of First Editions books and eventually, I was struck by a severe case of “Liber Cumulus.” At this writing I have no intention to be cured from this ailment but rather, I would prefer to sell a few selected titles or author’s works and perhaps you may find one or two items of interest to you.
I am not a book dealer, but a collector of books who finds enjoyment in reading and from time to time likes to trade, buy or beg for new titles. For this reason, I must apologize for this crude list of books listed below while assuring you to have done my best in describing all books and photographing them. I will also gladly send any additional information if you contact me via our Web site.
One last word, my stock is limited and revised periodically. For these reasons I suggest to respond without delay if there is an item of interest to you.
Many Thanks

INFO.
** Stowe, Harriet, Beecher -429bok- Uncle Tom’s Cabin; Life Among The Lowly - 1852 John P. Jewett & Co. -It is unfortunate how this classic book was a neglected. Fortunately the binding is still intact and the pages have remained readable. It has a dedication by its former owner of the "Anderson family, dated May, 25, 1852." Perhaps this volume could be restored and for this reason we are not grading it. If you are interested in this historical title please contact us.
We will add more titles as time permits. If you don't see what you need contact us, we may just have it but not yet listed.
PayPal (preferred). We also accept Personal Checks, Postal Orders or Banker's Draft.
