Welcome to Bookshelf Classics. We offer an eclectic selection of antiquarian, scarce and out-of-print books.
The last 500 years have produced thousands upon thousands of books written about every subject imaginable. Most collectors, as a result, specialize in a favorite author, subject of interest, hobby, time period, etc. which enables them to acquire an interesting and cohesive library, rather than one which is uncoordinated and without purpose.
Bookshelf Classics, however, does not specialize in any specific genre. Instead we focus on obtaining collectible first editions, out of print and antiquarian books; works in all categories and associated fields of interest that we believe will be welcome additions to one's library.
As you browse through our listings, we hope that you will find that elusive title or edition that you have been seeking in an acceptable condition and at a most competitive price.
Please keep in mind that the books and documents listed, are only a partial listing of our holdings. You may also find titles listed in multiple categories. In the event you cannot find your item please contact us by using our off-line search form and we will not only search our unlisted inventory, but other bookstores and venues as well in order to locate them for you.
We attempt to maintain up to date listings as our inventory changes; however the presence of a listing does not guarantee availability of a book.
For those of you who seek extremely scarce and antiquarian books and ephemera whether for investment or your personal collection, may we suggest:
