About the bookseller

Every book here has passed through the hands of a working historian — a Berkeley-trained specialist in early California and the Spanish and Mexican West. Descriptions are careful, conditions are graded honestly to the standard antiquarian scale, and nothing is listed that I wouldn't be glad to own myself.

This is a curated shop, not a warehouse. If you're hunting a specific title or building a collection in California, Western Americana, or borderlands history, write to me — I keep a want-list and source to order.
