Basset Books LLC

Welcome to the "About Me" page of Basset Books We are dealers in used, rare and out-of-print books. We have been selling on-line since 1998, and we have operated two open shops, one in Columbia, MD from 2003 to 2005, and one in Historic Savage Mill, Savage, MD in 2005 and 2006. We recently closed our store, but we opened a booth in the very fine Antique Center at Historic Savage Mill. We have thousands of books listed on ABE, Amazon, Alibris, Antiqbook.com, WABAbooks.com, and Biblio.com. We also sell through our own website, bassetbooks.com (see link below). We sell books in most categories, with our specialties being mystery & thriller, espionage & intelligence, American, European and military history, Russian history, modern literature, signed books, science fiction, antiquarian, women's studies, children's books, science, math and nature, and classics. If you are in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area, please visit our booth in the Antique Center in The Old Weave Building at Historic Savage Mill. Historic Savage Mill, a National Historic Landmark, is a restored cotton mill originally built in the early 1800s. Today it is the home to many fine and unique stores and restaurants. Our phone number is 410-792-7878. There is a link on our website to the Savage Mill site, which has more information, as well as directions.
