Books by Theme
There are certain themes that especially interest me. Here, you can browse books according to those themes.
Science
Antique science books provide a rare opportunity to observe the evolution of scientific progress through first hand accounts. From understanding of the human body, to the evolution of animals, to looking ahead to future technological advancements, scientific books are always an interesting read.
Social & Political Commentary
Society’s views — on religion, etiquette, women, music, and many other topics — have changed a lot over time. Even more than we realize. These books provide unique insights into what we considered controversial at different points in time.
Early American Printings
Printing in America began soon after the first settlements in the 1600s, but the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War prevented printing from really taking off. So, pre-Civil War printings tend to be somewhat difficult to find.
