Calvello Books

SPRING ABBUNDANZA SALE! Everything 35% Off through May 31st!

Dear Reader,

Welcome. Bienvenidos.

Thirty-six years of book-hounding allows me to offer a deep stock of quality antiquarian, scholarly, and uncommon books in all fields and languages.

My specialties include Spanish, Mexico & Latin America; The Pacific, Alternative Cultures, Arabic, Nature, Science, Technology, and Poetry. I also maintain a large general inventory.

I greatly appreciate receiving orders directly through my website. Here you will find my lowest prices, which are almost always 20% to 30% less than on the major listing services.

I currently operate by mail order only. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable to offer walk-in or by-appointment shopping. But I am working toward that goal.

Best Bookish Wishes,

Michael Calvello
