Collectors of Old Books! My grandparents and then my mother ran a book store in the Missouri Ozarks near Branson for more than 30 years. I inherited the remaining stock from that store. Some of those books I want to keep as "family heirlooms" (e.g., those books that were autographed by the likes of Carl Sandburg, Thomas Hart Benton, Thor Heyerdal, Harry Truman, etc.), but I don't want to be the curator of the thousands of other old books. Thus, I am offering them for sale. My provider does not give me the space to put photos of all the books on this page, but if you are interested in a particular book, email me at scimusic@tranquility.net for a photo, and I will send you a photo by return email. Check back often as we will open boxes and discover new old books from time to time. To place an order, print the Order Form at bottom of this page, fill in the appropriate information, and send with a check or money order. Items are shipped 4 to 7 days following receipt of order.
