À propos de Hammer Mountain Book Halls, ABAA

We ve been describing books scrupulously and packing them defensively (nearly always in boxes), for over 50 years, and we ve gotten pretty good at it. Specifically, we enumerate defects, even small ones; we never say "possibly" or " may have" : we look at the book and tell you what we see! That s simple professionalism. Our history: founded in 1971 by Wayne Somers, a former college library bibliographer, Hammer Mountain Book Halls began as a catalogue business specializing in out-of-print scholarly books. We chose the name for euphony and because we occupied the second-highest point in the county, the top of a 1,200 foot hill. Since 1981, we've also operated "W. Somers, Bookseller," a retail book shop with a constantly changing general stock of books not listed on the Internet. It's open Monday-Friday, 11-5, and Saturday, 10-5; browsers are welcome. We've been members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of American since 1977. We're also the publisher and sole source of the invaluable "Bibliography Finder for American Authors," by Wayne Somers and Ilse Pinkus, which you can buy for a pittance through Advanced Book Exchange. Farther down this page you will find two entirely separate systems of dividing our books by subject. The first, called "Catalogues", was created and is maintained by us. The second, listed under "Browse Hammer Mountain Book Halls," is called "Categories." It was created by ABE using computer programs which produce many stunning errors. We do not recommend using the Categories. Photo: Off on the daily Post Office run.
