[Rarebooks] A splendid opportunity to obtain a great inventory

[info@bluejacketbooks.com]

Good morning, all. I hope that this finds you and yours holding strong, doing kindnesses to others and having them done to you in return. 



Much as I would like to try to ride out the combined effects of coronavirus and the zombie apocalypse, my wife and I need to take on primary care-taking duties ion alternating fashion for two parents who live in another state. The book store that I have run for nearly a decade, Blue Jacket Book s, is therefore for sale. We are located in Xenia, Ohio and in a building that has been under complete rehab so as to have squeezed us out of existence. 

I believe that I have just sold ~14,000 not on-line book s and a whole bunch of book cases. 

I am therefore, however, still in dire need of liquidating most of my book store's inventory. 

That leaves me with roughly 7,500 items (that translate to roughly 9,000 pieces) to sell. Although we have been a general used book store, we have specialized in the following genres or disciplines: 1) Poetry; 2) Modern First Editions; 3) Fine Arts & Collectibles; 4) Americana (and including ephemera organized into boxes, individually sleeved in Mylar); 5) Social Sciences & Humanities; 6) American Civil War; and 7) horse-breeding and -racing. We also have lots and lots and lots of books with fine bindings, Franklin Library titles, Easton Press books, antiquarian, books about books, and odd and unusual tomes galore. 

In terms of numbers selling, Poetry and Civil War do the best, with Modern First Editions being a close third. I have loyal customers, however, for horse-racing book s, including overseas. Social Sciences & Humanities titles sell, but more slowly. Americana sells very, very well, and costs virtually nothing to ship. I will not miss making Frankenboxes for shipping fine arts tomes, but yes, they sell quite well. 

We have multiple boxes left of many, many Civil War titles, having purchased half the remaining inventories of the Civil War book publishers Morningside Press and Butternut & Blue. They are brand-new, still in shrink-wrap, and still boxed. Our best sellers are Lincoln Day-By-Day , Voices of the 55th , and Memoirs of a Confederate General . 

As of this morning , the full retail value of our on-line inventory is $239,889.00. Our items are selling for an average of $23.74/ book . 

Our inventory is really well organized, clean, and accurately and completely list ed. We use The Art of Book s inventory software program, and we have the technical skills to help you mesh our inventory with yours. Almost all of our items have been either photographed or scanned. 

$45,000.00 gets it all--a professionally and accurately described inventory, scanned images, and an inventory database. 

We also have book cases galore, over 100 of them if you need them, plus shipping supplies galore, cardboard boxes, shelving carts, etc.Full forensic reports regarding our inventory are available on request, as are several score pics of them in ranges and sections. 

To sweeten further a deal that is already so sweet as to make your teeth hurt, we have in the completely dry basement several skids' worth of unbound text-blocks of Morningside Press titles, including The Artillerist's Manual and Sons of Old Monroe . 

This is a stellar opportunity:
