Bookstores specializing in Modern First Editions

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. We are proud members of the Antiquarian Booksellers of New Jersey (ABNJ). Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Many of our books are not yet listed online (we are adding them as fast as we can!), so please do not hesitate to e-mail or call if you are looking for something you do not see here. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (973) 515-4591 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm EST.

Handy Book began as a paperback exchange in 1974 on Yonge Street in North Toronto. In 1977 my mother assumed ownership of the small store and in 1982, I opened a second location on Avenue Road about a mile away. Over the years, the Avenue Road store sold both new and used books and both paperback and hardcovers. In 1992, we closed the Yonge Street location and moved that stock to Avenue Road as I moved to a 7500-square-foot basement warehouse in Thornhill, just north of Toronto. In 2009, the warehouse was closed by a vindictive landlord and I again assumed the day-to-day activities of the Avenue Road store. With 29 years in the book business and with a lifetime love of books, I guarantee that anything shipped will arrive in the same condition that it left here. We know how people revere their books and we take extra-special care in wrapping and parcelling them. When in Toronto please drop in to visit the store. We're open Mondays to Saturdays from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and on Sundays and Holidays from noon to 8:00 pm.

Specialties of Portsmouth Books are Modern First Editions in Literature and Mystery; Californiana and San Francisco; Misc. Fine and Rare Books. Our Name Our shop is named after the famous Portsmouth Plaza of San Francisco. We chose this name because of our love for San Francisco and its history.

Portsmouth Plaza, San Francisco\'s first community center, was host to San Francisco\'s first independent bookstore, Pioneer Books. We at Portsmouth Books support our local independent bookstores and hope that you will too. Here is some additional information about the square, which has been reprinted from, www.sanfranciscochinatown.com. Known as the \"Heart of Chinatown\" -- Portsmouth Square. This square is called the Heart of Chinatown because Chinatown started along one side of the square and now extends around and beyond it. Portsmouth Square is rich with history as marked by statues, markers, and plaques sprinkled throughout the square. Named for the U.S.S. Portsmouth, commanded by Captain John B. Montgomery, after whom Montgomery Street was named. It was here on the plaza that Captain Montgomery first raised the American flag near the Mexican adobe custom house on July 9, 1846. Portsmouth Square plaza was the center of many early-day activities: ·the first public school building, erected in 1847 on the southwest corner of plaza, where religious services and many public meetings were held, ·the dramatic announcement of gold discovery made on May 11, 1848, when Sam Brannan displayed glittering samples to crowds, ·refuge for citizens following conflagrations of 1849, 1850, 1851, and 1906, ·citizens\' assembly on July 16, 1849 to organize against depredations of a lawless body called \'The Hounds,\' ·memorial services held August 29, 1850, following death of President Zachary Taylor, ·first Admission Day celebration held October 29, 1850, when the steamship Oregon brought the news that California had become 31st state on September 9, ·an indignation meeting, organized June 1, 1852, to protest against the city council\'s purchase of the Jenny Lind Theatre to be used as a city hall, ·commemorative services held for Henry Daly, August 10, 1852, ·and an oration delivered by Colonel E. D. Baker on September 18, 1859, over the body of U. S. Senator David C. Broderick, killed in duel with Chief Justice David S. Terry. ·Robert Louis Stevenson spent many hours here during his visit to the city in 1879-1880.

I owned an independent general bookstore in Charleston S.C. {Chapter Two Bookstore} for almost twenty years. I have been an avid reader all of my life so when I opened my own bookstore in 1983, I felt like a kid in a candy store. Every time a shipment arrived, it felt like Christmas morning. Just looking at those beautiful books just made me so excited to have the opportunity to enjoy them and share them with customers. I discovered that bookstore customers are the best people you'll ever meet and I really miss that bookstore! I know that you should not ever "judge a book by its cover," but I love book cover art and appreciate it even more when it really captures the essence of the book. It's not suprising that I quickly became an avid collector of modern first editions. Although it breaks my heart to do so, I am now selling from the collection I accumulated during that time to supplement my retirement income. The love of books has always saved me throughout my lifetime. I can provide additional photographs at your request. Please enjoy my books.
