Dunaway Books - Rare, used, and out-of-print books

About Us

Almost 80,000 Volumes: With hard to find titles shelved within an impressive architectural space, Dunaway Books will oblige the antiquarian and indulge the book lover. There is even more to our expansive outlay than at first meets the eye: after investigating the ground floor and touring the eyrie of the mezzanine, don't forget to wind your way down and through our labyrinthine lower level.

Departments: Browse an extensive collection of major subjects such as Americana, Foreign History, Military History, Literary Criticism, Fiction, Poetry, Philosophy, Religion, Humanities, Natural History, Science and Art. We have many specialty areas also; subjects like Books About Books, Local History, Modern Firsts, Numismatics, Metaphysics, Espionage, and Mycology, for example, are tucked in between and around larger groups. For a little leavening and escapism, there are Humor, SF/Fantasy, Mystery, Western, Craft, and Children's Books sections interspersed throughout the store. The front window and counter areas contain our Sets and Collected Works, as well as some of the rarer, more antiquarian volumes.
