Welcome to Old Algonquin Books   

Every year since 1985 sellers of used, rare, and antiquarian books and paper collectibles put on a large fair showing and selling their wares, usually in August.  The dealers exhibiting come from across the country as well as the Rocky Mountain region, and often a few from other countries.  It has been in operation every year since then except 2020 due to Covid and for the last few years the location has been at the fair grounds in Castle Rock, about 25 miles south of Denver.  For more information click on the website of the Rocky Mountain Antiquarian Booksellers Association:  http://www.rmaba.org.

Due to moving across town we are having to take our books off the internet but will have them all listed again around the end of February.  They will be checked for condition and price and it will be nice to be back in business again.  

Our books with dust jackets have removable mylar protective covers, and and are not price clipped or marked unless stated.  The books will again be 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.
