The Dusty Bookshelf

We sell online

Since 2001, The Dusty Bookshelf  has been selling books online through the sites Amazon and Abebooks. In our online inventory, you will find treasures. We have secondhand and rare books dating back to the late 18th century and nearly new books published in 2009. Take a look, and you'll be amazed when you find a hardcover signed by Frank Herbert or a book on the history of Lawrence from the early 1900s.

Recently, we began selling on World Book Market and Alibris.

We accept orders through Amazon, Abebooks, Alibris, and World Book Market, but we also encourage you to order directly through us. If you find a book you cannot put out of your mind, contact us about buying it.

We're constantly adding books to our online inventory, so check back frequently to search the new titles for sale.
