About
Since 1980 we have bought and sold used and rare books, manuscripts, broadsides, ephemera, maps, photographs, and prints. Our subject concentrations are in regional Americana, particularly the South, African-Americana, and the Civil War, as well as English and American literature, fishing, hunting, other sports, and books about books. Ensuring variety, we have a mix of antiquarian material in other fields, such as the arts, science, medicine, economics, and law. At irregular intervals, we issue catalogues. Visitors making appointments are welcome in our office as are enquiries from those selling material such as we stock.Terms of Sale
