I have a large natural history library and search for out of print natural history books. When I find used books at a reasonable price in good condition, I purchase them. If I already have the book in my personal library, I offer the book for sale, with only a very slight mark-up, to cover any shipping or other minor expenses I may have incurred to obtain the book. The following is a list of books I currently have available for sale. In addition, other collectors items may find their way to my blog site from time to time. Everything from art to old snake-bite kits.....Check my blog periodically as items will change quite frequently and there may be items that interest you.
