Thank you for visiting our internet book shop. Our "bricks and mortar" shop is located in the heart of the continent, but the majority of our business is done over the internet, or at antiquarian book fairs. Our stock consists of about 15,000 carefully chosen hard cover books. We try and maintain a strong and comprehensive inventory in the areas of:

Canadian exploration, history and politics

fine bindings

fine engravings and prints

general antiquarian

law and true crime

limited editions

medicine

nautical

polar explorations

rare maps

science and technology

signed first editions

Arthur Conan Doyle

Edgar Rice Burroughs

T. E. Lawrence

L. M. Montgomery

Edgar Wallace 

We also carry a general stock, tending toward better books in superior condition. Books with dust jackets are wrapped in clear, archival quality protective acetate.

Our second storefront location is called Bison Books, and is located in downtown Winnipeg. It is stocked with approximately 20,000 better quality (mainly hardcover) books; with a particular emphasis on literary history and literary biographies. Please visit Bison Books at 265 Kennedy Street (204-947-5931), or email at mail@bisonbooks.ca

Our Professional Associations:

We are members of The Ephemera Society of America; the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Canada (ABAC); and through the ABAC we are affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) .

Catalogs:

We now seldom issue paper catalogs as, with the advent of the Internet, details about all our stock are accessible through our web site. We do however have on-line catalogues of our holdings in the following areas: Aviation, Books about Books, Judaica, Law & True Crime, Medicine, Military History, Nautical, Polar Exploration, and Stamps & Coins. These catalogues are updated daily. Click here to access our online catalogues.

We also create and issue specialized lists sorted, at your request, by author, title, subject-matter, or key words. These lists can either be emailed, faxed, or posted to you. Digital photos of any book in stock are available upon request from a serious potential purchaser. (We do not normally provide photos to those conducting research).

Other Services:

Recently, we began offering prints and engravings as well. The stock is small, but expanding steadily.

Other services we offer include:

We buy books!

We also travel extensively throughout North America, England and Ireland, and we would be glad to buy better quality books for which we will pay competitive prices. Appointments can be arranged to either coordinate with our attendance at books fairs or our general buying trips.  Please bear in mind that we are primarily interested in what may be somewhat inelegantly described as "rare" or "valuable" books, for which we pay top prices, with a premium offered for such books in superior condition. If you have lists of books you wish to sell, by all means post, fax or e-mail, it to us, but bear in mind that no decision to purchase will be made until we have first had an opportunity to examine the books.
