I specialize in books that are related to genealogy or local history. All books that would help people who are researching their family histories.
I started seriously looking into my family genealogy in the 1980's. As I researched I found lots of genealogy and history books that seemed reasonably priced so I bought them. Now that I am retired and can't take my research any further I decided to sell some of the books I collected over the years. Most of my books fall into that category but I will also add books from other areas from time to time.
