About Us

I have always been an avid reader and my parents enjoyed buying books. In 1959 we moved to an area with a used book store a couple blocks away and I began what proved to be a lifelong hobby of browsing and buying old books. In 1974 my father opened his antique store, Doris Lewis Antiques, on Wilshire Blvd in West Los Angeles and I began selling as well as buying books.

While my father had his store, I issued several book catalogs, utilizing reference works from UCLA to determine first edition points and such. Of course the Internet has made that information accessible for a long time now, as well as making quick price comparisons possible.You can purchase with confidence that books are of the edition and in the condition stated (though judgment of condition is always subjective.)

We believe our prices are fair, but will consider reasonable offers for large purchases. Items are returnable for refund within 10 days (with buyer paying return postage and insurance).

We accept credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, money order and personal check (orders sent when funds clear).

Merchandise is available to view in Roseville, California.

Happy browsing! *
