Welcome to Coelacanth Books. We are bona fide "bibliomaniacs," committed to providing you with the personal attention book lovers deserve. Each of our partners has 20+ years experience with antiquarian books; we have been selling online since 1999. We are currently using Bonanzle - a great new online marketplace - as our "home" store for books. We also list selected books on book database Biblio.com and on Amazon.com, and can invoice purchases directly or through Paypal/Google Checkout. (A few of our listed books are shown below.)

Our inventory is small & selective; every book is carefully evaluated in terms of interest and condition. We grade books conservatively based on Independent Online Bookseller Association standards and verify first editions using accepted trade references.

Our online listings are detailed so that you will always know exactly what to expect and can fully evaluate whether a book meets your needs and interests. We care about "why" books are important, and so try to provide a sense of context as well as condition.

Please feel free to click through to our booth, email us at info@coelacanthbks.com, or use our online form if you have any questions or wish to reserve a book directly.
