From the PAUBA fair in June, Portland, Oregon. Thanks, everyone! Let us know if you see titles you'd like above you'd like to know more about....
The books on our home database are well identified by topic and genre. We are always glad to create emailed or mailed hard-copy individual lists for our customers at any time: this has been our practice for many years.
On this updated site, the links for catalogs, booklists,
author articles, and bookresources still work. Browse through our site and you will see those familiar pages. Rare books and Antiquarian books are terms used too loosely in the online bookselling world, but many of our books are scarce, or scarce in the edition and condition offered, and we hope that all are interesting. We leave long series, like Oz and Nancy Drew, little Golden and Elf books, and readers to other specialists, see Looking for a Book?,
The name of our business, which will appear on your invoice, is Columbia Basin Books. Truman Price also has a fine collection of books on folk and early popular music, which can be viewed at http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/StoreFrontDisplay?cid=3381
Thanks for stopping by!
