MOSHER BOOKS  began in February 1991 as a retail book firm for selective antiquarian books of all kinds; however, we do also stock books from the firm's namesake -- the Portland, Maine publisher, Thomas Bird Mosher. The firm's owner maintains a personal collection of books from and related to the Mosher Press. The following list contains his collecting interests and the interests of a few clients, but we are certainly interested in purchasing other Mosher Press books in near-fine to fine condition depending on the title and limitation.
