About Us

Collecting started early for us with Classic Comics and the Hardy Boys series. Many years of travel and adventure later, left only the continent of Antarctica unvisited. With the desire for a slower paced life and the raising of a family, we built a home in the Kootenays, where we have been since 1993. 

We are online booksellers carrying an eclectic selection of antiquarian, collectible, rare and out of print books; focusing on modern first editions, travel & exploration and north & west America.

Please inquire about items you are seeking as current online listings represent only a small portion of available inventory.

 Additional photos supplied upon request.           Want lists welcomed.          Open by appointment.
