France in French, and The Assundry

We now stock a selected line of French titles along with a few English titles and our Assundry of single copy used titles.

Assundry is a little of this and a bit of that, used copies, only one copy of most are available, unlike the rest of this catalog which represents titles that we have multiple copies.

This listing is only a small fraction of our stock of out of print and used titles that are not in our printed catalog or on the INTERNET. If you are looking for a specific title please drop us a quick note, Leonard
