Welcome

Greetings. Welcome to Calvello Books. My name is Michael Calvello. I've worked in the used, rare and antiquarian book business since the mid 1980s and have a passion for knowledge, paper and printed matters.

And books are what matter!  While e-books and e-readers become more popular, along with that popularity comes an increasingly widespread realization of the true hard value of a real book. You can truly own a book (as opposed to licensing one on an e-reader), you don't need batteries, a book cannot be very easily taken back from you or censored ex post facto like digital books, and what I like most is that you can give a book away or re-sell it. That is what I do. I give them away and I sell them. And I read a lot.

We are a small family-run operation. We take great pride in being an independent business and in offering you, the reader, a large and rich selection of the world's most interesting books in all languages and subjects. If for whatever reason you cannot afford our already discounted prices, which are ten percent less than our same offerings on the major bookseller aggregator sites like ABE, Amazon, Alibris & Biblio, feel free to contact us. We are often happy to drop our price a wee bit or throw in the shipping in order to help a fellow reader out. Thanks for keeping the pages turning!
