WHAT YOU WILL FIND
​

I am selling my collection and I have some rare and unusual aviation, naval, military books, prints, photos and maps as well as general interest material. 

The condition of the books and items are accurately described. All of the books with dust jackets are wrapped in protective transparent acid free coverings. ​

The aviation, naval and military books are divided into categories for easier searching.  The books are arranged alphabetically by title, not by author as this seems to be the best way to find a book.


I also have several airliner and military aircraft colour profiles that are framed.  There are others that are mounted and matted for framing (fits standard frames, matted to 8x10" or 11x17").  I also have a number of early aviation and airliner postcards. Please inquire as these items are not currently listed.

​Viewing of my collection can be arranged by appointment only.  If not local to me, I would be happy to forward a photo via e-mail of any book or item to show condition and verify that it's what you are looking for.


Although I appreciate the offers, I am not purchasing other collections.
