Rare Books

Click here for our latest New Acquisitions list.

 

We are constantly adding to our collection of rare books. One corner of our store boasts shelves of rare books devoted to Edward Abbey’s titles, expeditions on the Colorado Plateau, and Western and Native Americana. Many of our books are first or limited editions and some are signed. We also have a wonderful collection of ephemera, photography, maps and broadsides. You can shop online at Biblio.com or come into the store to browse.

We also have a warehouse full of rare books that are available for purchase online.  The collection of rare books at our warehouse covers a wide range of subjects, but generally doesn’t fit within the theme of the rare books found at our store. Visit our warehouse online store here: AbeBooks.com.

Please contact us directly if you are interested in selling your book collection.

Stephen Hawking-Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He is known as one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. At 21, he was diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that paralyzed him gradually over decades. When his speech was eventually gone, he communicated through a speech generating device that was controlled by a handheld switch, and then eventually just a single muscle in his cheek. He has written many books on the universe, science, math, time, physics, and many more scientific concepts that he gave us the foundations to expand on today.
