Bookmaven Out-of-Print Books, Antiquarian Books, First Edition,Used & Unusual Books

Welcome to the home of Bookmaven. Booksellers & Buyers of Antiquarian, Out-of-Print, Used, and Unusual Books.

Our site requires you to create a Log-in & Password, for ordering. My suggestion is to create one first.

This site is user friendly and set up for browsing and searching. You may search our "Inventory" in various ways: Title; Author; Description or "Key Words". On a book you do not know the title of it is best to search under 'key words,' this method will show books in a broad spectrum of subject; as an example for a book in the "Civil War" period search under Civil War, this would bring up battles, history, biography, etc. The same for "Signed Books" in the 19th Century,either could be used as a "Key Word," etc. If all else fails please e-mail me.

I purchase and sell books in the following:

• 18th, & 19th Century Literature
 
• novels
 
• Children's books
 
• Travel
 
• History
 
• Biography, Autobiography, Memoirs & Letters
 
• Cooking & Drink Books
 
• Natural History
 
• Photography
 
• Theology & Religion
 
• Color plate books
 
• Signed books, and others




We also carry 20th Century books, mainly First Edition, or Limited Printings.

 

Do you have books to sell? Offerings should be sent as an e-mail attachment: Author; Title; Publisher; Date; Condition; price you want. A digital would be great, especially if you "think" it is rare or obscure. Condition is "everything"!!

 

We will attempt to locate your "Wants" as a free service, please fill out our off-line search form and designate a price range
