Rare magic books?

Postby mind_reader » Jun 8th, '04, 21:58



Hey,
Does anyone know of a place that sells rare magic books, maybe second hand items?
If not would someone please open one (or make one appear :) ).
I think it would be good to browse all the old magic books instead of all the modern books you find in most magic dealers, bit of a change.

Anyway enough rambling, so if anyone does know of place where they sell old/rare/second hand magic books then please let me know.

Thanks,
Steve.

I think 'Magic Books by Post' often have old books. I can't remember their web address but I'm sure it'll turn up on a search.

Try www.bradburybooks.com a very helpful and friendly guy in Texas who stocks an amazing collection of new and second-hand magic books. His service is excellent.

This internet site has a huge selection of second-hand books

not specifically magic books, in fact there are very few, but it's easy to search for a title or author (you won't find many bargains though).
