Excellent selection. Great prices. Great service. So glad I found them!
Bottom line: you may do okay if you order a reading copy of something from this store, but I would never make another purchase from Old Library if I cared about the condition of the book upon arrival.
They are also very good at searching for and sourcing titles that may be difficult to find through the usual online sources. They are hard, dedicated workers offering fair prices for great service.
When I first approached the library I was presented with a bargain shelf on the outside, and I immediately found a great book at an even greater price. Opening the front door, the aroma of the pages hit my nose like a professional boxer telling a story through his punches. I instantly felt at home when the angels at the desk, welcomed me with open wings. Not sure why but the creaky wooden floor sent nostalgic chills through my body, I had found true serenity. The wide selection of books was intimidating at first, but I quickly felt at home, floateing through the isles on surreal book high. Finally the angelic duo rang me out and my home library had a few new editions. I ultimately did not want to leave but I had a doctor's appointment to attend to. I will definitely be back to my new found slice of heaven, complete with angels, stories and clouds of books......
Purchased a collectible first edition from The Old Library Bookshop online, using Biblio. They shipped the book media mail, which was fine, and unprotected, which was not. This 35-year-old hardcover weighed 28 ounces, and since it was shipped unprotected (apart from the envelope) the book was pretty badly beaten up on its way to me. In response to my email about their shipping I was - rudely, in my opinion - invited to return the book at my own expense, to be refunded minus their shipping costs. It's a shame. Sixty seconds and a piece of cardboard and I would have been a happy customer.
The ladies running this wonderful book store maintain a great local history collection. They are also strong in cookbooks and works by local authors.
Great people who are always helpful. Great selection of books at modest prices.
