TO OUR CUSTOMERS,  ALARMED OR OTHERWISE

The economic crisis that forced us to consider closing at the end of this

 year has mostly passed.  To a large extent it was a crisis felt by

hundreds of antiquarian booksellers in America.

Many closed.  We, fortunately, won't have to.

We will be open regular hours (10-5, Monday-Saturday) and welcome

all readers, dealers, browsers.

We are sorry for the alarm, but things did look discouraging for awhile.

  Profound change has come to the antiquarian book business in the last

 few years---when and if it will stop nobody knows but Booked Up, for

 now and we hope for a long time to come, is still in the game.
