WELCOME to Yesterday's Book Shop.
Our family started selling in 1966 under the name
Collector's Corner, operating in a small town called
Walkersville, MD. In 1975 my father changed the
name to Yesterday's Book Shop and eventually moved to
Delaware where he operated several storefronts in the
Rehoboth Beach, Millsboro and Lewes areas.
In the mid-2000's his
health forced him to close his storefront though he
continued to operate out of antique malls when he was able
to. As his son, I was planning on taking over the
family business once I retired.
Sadly, my father passed away just a few years before I was
able to join him in managing the family business. I'm
a disabled veteran and all that is left of the family
business, but I have very high standards as far as customers
are concerned, just like my father did when he operated the
business.
Please note: if
there are typos in the book listings please let me know.
I have to rely on speech-to-text software to enter data
and sometimes I miss the errors.
The brick and mortar
inventory is nearly all gone. What I am selling off now is
his private inventory - what he always called his "BOB" the
best of the best books he came across in collecting over the
past 70+ years. When he passed, I inherited his
private collection and am now in the process of slowly
selling off his personal library. There are
approximately 13,000 books left, each hand-picked well
before the days of the internet and packed away for years.
Currently, I have about 40% of the titles listed and try and
add an additional 50 titles
a month.
If you would
like additional images of any of the books we have for sale,
please let me know. I am not interested in purchasing
books as this is not a business. I am
downsizing and selling off a large collection and once the
books are gone the name Yesterday's Book Shop will be no
more.
Starting in
2022 I will only be selling through Biblio.com or direct
sales.
