History
We started on the corner of Woodruff and Carson in the city of Lakewood and moved to our current location, in 1999. We are on the corner of Viking Way and Village Road (just behind Bellflower Boulevard and Carson Street) in east Long Beach. We began listing many of our books online in 1996 and, to date, have 5000 of our approximately 50,000 books available for online purchase.
Specialties
We specialize in used, collectible, and rare books. We trade paperback fiction 3-for-1 in similar subject matter, and we are looking to buy hardback non-fiction in art, history, military, Native American, and transportation. We also buy old and rare postcards, magazines, how-to pamphlets, and other forms of collectible ephemera. We are willing to look at whatever you may want to bring down to sell, and we will make you an offer based on how much we need the books for the store. We generally do not buy fiction, self-help, textbooks, or encyclopedias, but we will be more than happy to refer you to a place where you can off-load any books we cannot take.
