Natural History
Some of the most beautiful and collectible
books ever produced may be found in this
category. Anyone who's ever seen 19th
century hand-colored plates knows what
we're talking about. A Charles Darwin 1st
edition ... an old paleontological work ... you
never know what treasures await.

Science & Mathematics
Here you will find scarce works of
science & math. Maybe a mid 19th
century copy of something like
Mill's System of Logic, perhaps a
hard to find university press work
on Chaos theory or a book on
Charles Lyell's work in America.

Current Highlights

Modern Firsts
This term is used for works of fiction dating
from the beginning of the 20th century. The
presence of the dust jacket is most important
to collectors of modern firsts. A dust jacket
can account for 75 to 90% of the value.

Travel & Exploration
Accounts of sea voyages to distant lands...the
early xploration of North and South America,
the Arctic, Japan, and the Pacific. These
books of true life adventure take you away
for a trip that may land you at any point
around the globe. Everything from Capt.
Cook to Commodore Perry to the early
exploration of the American West might
possibly be found within this category. Bon
voyage!
