I carry a general stock of approx 70000 titles of which only a small percentage is online. Viewing at my Ashmore bookrooms is welcome by appointment. While not specializing I have a good selection of art, natural history, military and surfing in stock. I also have many other non-fiction subjects, as well as approx 10000 paperback fiction titles on hand.
