My Family

Attacked by a T-Rex in St. Georges, Quebec (I saved them!)

Welcome to our virtual bookshop.  We are a family business and we do our best to offer quality VINTAGE books in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and German.  I am a full-time French and Spanish teacher who knows a lot about world literature, but it is impossible to know everything.  We go to booksales all year long, so our procurement of books is constant.  We have thousands of books, and try our best to offer books that still maintain collectible value.  My personal collection includes many first edition titles from Jules Verne, my favorite author, in the original French language, published by J. Hetzel in the 19th century.  C'est chouette, quoi !

I speak four languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.  So feel free to write in any of those languages (I can understand Italian too.).  My favorite places on Earth include, Grenoble & Paris, France; Caracas, Venezuela;  Jackman, Maine (small French speaking town here in New England, where I grew up) and Gainesville, Florida.  But, I have not yet been to Puerto Rico where my wife's family is from.  My beautiful wife also speaks Spanish.  Our 3 year old is learning English, French and Spanish already.  Our teenage daughter is practicing to be an adult and loves animals.

I started selling on eBay 10 years ago, first with the sale of my Dad's hunting and fishing videos (which we still offer) from the North American Outdoorsman.  He was a photographer for many years with the late, great angler, Lee Wulff.  Since my Dad retired, my eBay business shifted focus to my specialty:  World Literature and vintage books. 

CUSTOMERS MATTER !!!

Our customers are special to us and our goal is to maintain as close to 100% feedback, as possible.  Our customers are from around the world.  We have had sales to China, Singapore, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Australia, and, of course throughout the United States.  We ship globally!

We usually ship books by Media Mail, which is the U.S. Post Office's special rate for books, music and movies, that helps keep costs down.  Media Mail takes between 2 and 9 days within the continental United States.  It can take even longer at times due to weather.  Please keep in mind that beyond the postage price, there is the cost of the envelope that we use to ship the book(s) AND NOW there's the price for gas factored in!!  We do not try to make profit off of shipping.  If there is a question about shipping price, please ask ahead of time. IF TIMELY DELIVERY IS REQUIRED, PLEASE ASK FOR TRACKING AND PRIORITY SHIPPING.

We are an eBay Powerseller and we are interested in each and every book arriving safely to you, our customer.  We are willing to work with you to ensure you have a positive experience with us.  You are the backbone of our business !!!
