Established in 1993 and located just north of San Francisco in beautiful Marin County, we are antiquarian booksellers dealing primarily in desirable 19th Century English and American Literature, both first editions and manuscripts, with a special emphasis on superb original condition and a particular interest in the works of Thomas Hardy.
We also have on hand a choice variety of high quality first editions representing the burgeoning collecting field of “Literature Into Film.” Thus you’ll find an array of quality mystery, detective, and children’s high spot fiction.
