Services
Cataloging
I can catalog your private or institutional collection on computer by subject or author, with details for each books contents and condition.
Fee varies depending on the location, scope and nature of the collection.
Collection Development
I use bibliographic searches to discover important books in your specific area of interest. Not all subjects available.
Consignments
Single, rare volumes or entire collections can be sold on an agreed consignment percentage, usually 50 percent. More desirable items are sold quickly, but some collections may take up to a year to sell.
Consulting Service
With 32 years of full-time business experience buying, evaluating and selling used books, I am able to bring this knowledge and advice to you on the best possible ways to handle book inheritances, selling your own books, placing books in the appropriate libraries, or going into business yourself. Rate: $100.00 per hour.
Purchasing
I buy single volumes or entire collections on a regular basis. Because of my lengthy list of customers waiting for many rare items, I often pay higher prices for immediate purchase of desirable Texas related books, documents, photographs, letters and other printed material. As well as Texas paintings.
Rare Book and Collection Appraisal Service
I bring the most current appraisal practices to your books, or paper and art related items. Using my large reference library of auction records and catalogued book sales.
