Troll image by J.P. Hammond 1885Book Sets and Collections

Sometimes there's just to much to say on a subject to fit in one book. We are gathering here a fine selection of antique book sets, from beautiful cloth covers to leather bound reference books about art, history, poetry and literature. Ranging from two volumes to 20 volumes and more, these sets will adorn your bookshelf and provide you with hours or reading and research. You will only find complete sets here, no broken sets allowed.

Encyclopedias and reference books of all types, collected works of authors, biographies and memoirs, these books will fill your library. No mater the reason for the collections, books in a set are one of the most sought after purchases.

We are always in the market to buy books. Single volumes, sets like you see here, entire libraries, or just a few choice books. Please see our page on what we buy before contacting us to sell your book.

We purchase hardback books in most categories and desire our books to be in excellent condition since that is what most of our customers expect. Unfortunately, we cannot buy textbooks, book club editions, paperbacks, or books that have been extensively underlined, highlighted, or annotated . Our commitment is to provide the best price possible for good books offered to us and generally we do not provide quotes. You should research your book first and determine a price you would like to receive. If we decide to buy, we may accept that price or give you a counter offer for your book.
