Used Books
| While at this time we can accept credit card
payments only through PayPal™, we also accept checks and money
orders by mail. If you prefer to use this latter method, please
contact us (our contact information can be found here)
before ordering, as there are limited quantities (usually only
one) of each of these books. We do ship outside the U.S. and Canada, and the PayPal buttons will figure the appropriate shipping costs from your address. |
The following are used and nearly new (usually remaindered) heraldry books that we currently have in stock. Quantities are limited, usually of but one copy of a title, but the "Add to Cart" buttons will tell you if a title has already been sold before I have been able to remove it from this page.
Most books are hardbound, unless specifically described as soft cover. Included with most book descriptions is a URL to the same title on Amazon where you may find a more complete description of the book and its contents. (It's possible, of course, that you may find a title a little cheaper there, too, but I try very hard to keep our prices competitive, and don't buy books to sell if to do so would mean having to charge a price that I believe is more than the book is worth.
This list of books will change on a regular basis, as copies are sold and
as I find new reasonably priced books to add to those here. See also our
selection of new heraldry books, heraldic coloring/pattern books, and
heraldic bingo game on this page.
