J & S DeSimone Booksellers has a stock of over 40,000 books immediately available. The emphasis is on history -- and quality.


We have quick access to many more. And we offer a host of other books as well, ranging from fiction and poetry to sports and theology. But books on history, and rare books that are themselves a part of history, are the core of our business.


Ulysses - 1st Edition At J & S DeSimone Books, you can find a first edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, and you can find it to the left of modern critical studies of Homer's Ulysses, and to the right of biographies of Ulysses S. Grant -- as well as memoirs by Ulysses S. Grant, and a framed signature of the former President.

 

Books centuries old sit carefully nestled behind glass, and reminiscences by some of the greatest statesmen and leaders in history are available in used paperback editions for a few dollars.

 

We have books on local history, and classic children's books.

 

Books of photographs and books of art.

 

Books that are rare and precious artifacts, and books that will tell you about how to collect and care for rare books.

 

We have exactly the book you're looking for -- browse our collection and see.

 

And if it's not right there at hand, we can get it for you before you know it.

 

  ooks: An Investment In History

All our books are worth reading, and some of them are worth treasuring as an investment.

 

But J & S DeSimone is more than just another book store. We're your History Store. If you want to know more about a particular time or place or person, we can connect you to books and films and prints and CD-Roms and more.

 

We can help you take a trip back in time in many ways and with many media. But especially with books.
