Ten Pound Island Book Co.

Our Most Recent Catalog

Here’s a mix of some recondite manuscript material picked up on road trips, additions to stock from virtual book fairs, items sold to me by Internet book scouts (you know who you are!), and a few interesting remains from the rapidly diminishing stock of Howland and Company. Nothing in the megabucks category, but plenty of good reading to while away the last days of summer.

If you are moved to order or inquire about any of the items in this list, I suggest you do so by email – to tenpound@tenpound.com, or through the “Contact” tab on our website. These are time stamped and will be processed in the order in which they arrive.

We pay all postage and insurance within the US. Overseas orders will be billed at cost.
