Welcome to Old Algonquin Books   

It will soon be time again for the Rocky Mountain Antiquarian Book Fair, this year on Friday and Saturday, August 15 and 16 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock, Colorado.  Despite the word Antiquarian, the exhibitors at the fair will be showing and selling all sorts of books and book-related items from ancient to recent, scarce and rare,  and it is always quite a show.  The fair started in 1985 and has been in operation every year since then except 2020 due to CoVid.  For more information go to http://www.rmaba.org.

We have made a temporary move across town, still in the Denver area but without enough storage space, so unfortunately it means that we are able to just list a small number of books for sale at this time.  This means, for now, mostly  Modern Library books which include fiction, history, biographies, philosophy, etc.  We also have a few of John Dunning books available and will add other new finds when possible.

Our books with dust jackets have mylar protective covers, and and are not price clipped or marked unless stated.  Our books are available at www.biblio.com and www.abebooks.com.  You can search in the box below to find the books on the Biblio website .

John Dunning, author of a series of five books featuring bookseller Cliff Janeway, an encyclopedia of old-time radio On the Air and five other novels, died at age 81 on May 22, 2023, after a long struggle with dementia caused by a brain tumor.
