About Nostalgic Books & Elements
Nostalgic Books and Elements LLC, NB&E, sells very good condition used books (many of which are signed) to readers and collectors who see books as literary treasures. Unlike many online bookshops, NB&E provides multiple images of the book you will receive and sends them to you promptly with care.
NB&E, prides itself on rescuing unique and nostalgic books that sometimes include an element. I provide detailed descriptions, multiple photographs, and wrap most dust jacket in a protective sleeve.
Books are noted as either SIGNED or INSCRIBED accordingly. If the book is a remainder or ex-library it is noted. I seldom, if ever, sell these types of books. I CHERISH books and want to provide you with the books you will be proud to own.
With gratitude,
Janice Dawson
