Newton Corner, Massachusetts, United States
About Us Books, Books, everywhere I look! This is what I get for having had to use a library as a kid . . . my own bookstore! My big old Victorian house has become home to 25,000 hard to find, out of print books, all coddled and cared for because they are, in fact, my second batch of children (needless to say, far more numerous than my first 4), all grown up and ready to find new homes! They even have their grandfather carefully packaging them for their new abodes! And if we don't have the books you're looking for, we'll find them for you! (The most fun part of graduate school was doing the research for the research paper -- i.e., finding all the books. Now I can find the books you need, and I don't have to do the research . . . I'll leave that to you!) We pride ourselves on personal service, 24 to 48 hour turn around, and when necessary, 1 hour turn around!

Plans are under way for providing services in bibliographic research, language translation, and collection development.

The exhibits provide valuable opportunities for students, teachers and scholars to discover unusual, previously unfamiliar materials in their particular disciplines and areas of interest. At the same time, we develop a keener sense of current and developing scholarship. Our conversations with attendees help us to identify priorities for expanding the Basileia collection. In subsequent months, we find specific books that our new customers are seeking. ***** In 2009, we have attended meetings of the Medieval and Renaissance Forum at Plymouth State University (April, in New Hampshire), the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo (May), the New England Medieval Conference at Dartmouth College (October, in New Hampshire), and the North American Victorian Studies Conference at Yale University (November, in Connecticut).
