ANIMAL HUSBANDRY This collection covers care and maintenance of all types of pets and domestic animals, including some books on such fringe topics as aquaculture and gamekeeping. Our collection is geared towards the backyard farmer, homeowner, and hobbyist, not the commercial farmer or veterinarian. The collection also includes participatory equestrian sports of all types, materials on horses in motion pictures, trick horses, etc. But please note that the topics of professional racing and rodeo are covered only in the most general and popular terms.
ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES This collection tries to include material chosen from the persepctive of a collector. It also includes materials on repair and maintenance of antiques, the business of buying and selling (from flea markets to e-Bay). While it does include price guides, we do not purchase new editions of all topics every year. The core of the collection is geared to background information and basic identification, not pricing.
EARLY AMERICANA This collection contains material on the cultural/social aspects of life in America from the colonial period through the 1850's, and is strong in architechture and domestic arts. Some material on the Civil War era is included, as well as some later Victoriana, especially in the architectural section.
