About The M.A.D. House Artists

The M.A.D. House Artists is located in our home on beautiful Grand Lake in Oklahoma. We are so rural even Google does not know where we are. Call for Directions. The M.A.D. House Artists have amassed a large inventory from private collections, personal libraries, and public library purges. It is our strong feeling that these books should be available for reading, rather than shredding and recycling as grocery bags. Our collection is eclectic and ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, but so do our reading tastes. If you do not see your book listed, please feel free to contact us, as there are many more not yet listed, and more are added daily. Visitors are welcome, and encouraged to call for directions.
