About Sherlock Joe's Book Hunting
The bookstore will be closed for a vacation of book-hunting in the Midwest from March 2 - 9, 2024.
The game is afoot!
I focus on modern first edition, first printings, but have been lately finding first editions, later printings of older novels in my inventory. I'm also highlighting a lot of signed books that I've found.
I will also gladly search for and offer well-priced books of all kinds. If there's something you'd love to have, either send me a message here or go to https://cases.sherlockjoes.com and Open a Case!
