FAncy BOOKs
A selection from our more expensive inventory. Books often gain in value as they age & this happens for many reasons. Anything that lives long enough & maintains its object integrity will have value: such as leather bindings that avoided the red rot, even a beautifully illustrated science fiction paperback that avoided the back pocket. Sometimes a book is too strange to be acceptable in the year of its printing. Its print run may be small & soon halted (“out-of-print”), but as society gradually opens its mind people end up valuing what they once couldn’t accept. Some subjects themselves are valuable. Like books that offer specific uncommon skill sets & knowledge. Homebuilt aircraft, or witchcraft!
