Welcome to resourcebooks.net!
This site is the online home of Resource Books, LLC. Please search or browse our inventory of hard to find, rare, used and out of print rare books. Just click on the catalogues listed to the right to browse by category, or use the search feature to the left if you have a particular title or subject in mind. If you'd like to see our newest stock, please check our Newest Arrivals catalogue. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have a question.
If you're looking for unique and thoughtful business or personal gifts, or just something special to add to your collection, rare, collectible and gently used books are always appreciated, and are an environmentally sound, "green" alternative to buying new. We have more than 11,000 books online and you're certain to find something to interest you or someone you know. Resource Books, LLC not only buys and sells antiquarian and out-of-print books, but also related items, such as bookends, postcards, inkstands, old written correspondence, maps and atlases, all kinds of old paper items, and much more. We carry a wide variety of books dating from the sixteenth through the twenty-first centuries, with a minor emphasis on non-fiction, but we don't restrict our stock based on subject matter - if we think it's interesting or unusual, we try to offer it. We purchase single books, small or large quantities of books and paper, and even entire private libraries or bookstores throughout New England and Northeastern New York, and will travel further for unique buying opportunities. We have purchased more than 30,000 books in a single purchase, so inquiries about large-scale purchasing opportunities (bookstores or libraries) are welcome.
Most of our stock is listed online, and we have two small retail locations in Connecticut. We also sell wholesale to dealers. We are open by appointment only, so if you would like to see any of the books we have online and you're visiting the area, please give us a call. We also have stock that has been priced but not yet listed that visitors are welcome to browse - the quantity of this stock varies from day to day. We recently completed a new building for cataloguing and storing our books, and we're always proud to show it off. Photos of the building appear on the About Us page.
Other services we provide include book searches; consultation on furnishing personal libraries (books and other items, from bookends to bookcases, from maps and globes to lighting); library and museum de-accession sales; library fundraising sales; consignment sales; and complete estate liquidation. We are also available for "Antiques Roadshow" - type benefit events or will speak to small groups about collecting and caring for books.
