We are a small, owner-operated online antiquarian and collectible book business specializing in travel and exploration (especially China, other parts of Asia, Africa and far-flung areas of the world); the West and Northwest (because that’s where I live and love it); history of all parts of the world; Americana; mountaineering; military and war; and much more.

I offer many types of fiction and literature, especially poetry, first editions, and signed works. I especially love handsome, old, leather-bound volumes, so you’ll find a fair number of those on my eBay site.

My inventory is eclectic as I am always finding new and interesting things. I’m particularly drawn to hand-written journals, old albums of photographs, or archives of material such as old letters that tell a story (particularly of far-away places or events). I’m always looking to purchase these.

Timbuktu Books does virtually all of its business online, so shipping is second nature. I ship daily (except Sundays and holidays) at the best available rates, and pack carefully so your book is protected and will arrive safely.
