John Howell for Books specializes in California books and ephemera, fine press, miniature books, the history of printing and books, typography, and artist's books. I offer my books at my website (link to the right) and about 5 or 6 books fairs a year. I also distribute lists through email, so sign up for lists on my website. I am always looking to buy books in my specialties.
