Rogercoybooks has rented a store in Downtown Brockway, Pennsylvania!

If you are from Brockway and are checking my site from the note on the window, welcome. I searched middle and western Pennsylvania for over nine months and finally took a long-delayed trip to your beautiful and prosperous town. I have approximately 100,000 used books, including a large quantity of Medical and Science books, which is my primary specialty.The store will be located at 425 Main Street, and I intend to open on or around June 1st. You may have seen me bicycling around town intermittently over the past couple of months, or perhaps we have spoken briefly. I look forward to launching this store and providing customers with useful and affordable books. I read constantly, myself, and over the past years this has taken me heavily into history and murder mysteries. My own focus of information is in battlefield strategy from Napoleon onwards, retaining an interest in Caesar's famous siege methods. I will offer for sale on the shelves an omnivorous collection that addresses the interests and needs of the community. My ultimate goal in the long term is to make the new bookstore a center for the celebration of our common Northern, Central and Southern European heritage(s). To do this I will concentrate on the arts, cooking, hunting, Christian religion, and history of all kinds. Finding the books to learn about these fascinating topics can be a tricky endeavor but I assure you that I am able and equal to the task. There will be, of course, a wide range of all sorts of fiction, as well. I will also purchase books, should you wish to sell them.Why did you choose Brockway?     My answer to this questioin would be that the fact that there was not a bookstore in Brockway was a pleasant coincidence. I came to Brockway initially after many delays in order to view real estate and was immediately struck by the positive contrast that this city enjoys with other locations in Pennsylvania. This impression increased after several subsequent visits. The factories are operating. Indeed, in this economic collapse I would suggest that the bottle demand will increase even as things deteriorate due to our remarkably poor national leadership, past and present. The pressed metal plants look to be well managed and cutting edge, too. The homes are well kempt and the streets are clean. People here smile and say hello, as well. In a once-great country that is being driven by ethnic and racial division all of this was a very pleasant revelation. I have lived for approximately 16 years in the Brooklyn boro of New York City. The neighborhood where I resided was almost entirely Irish and Italian many years ago but the increases in real estate interests have caused changes that make it almost unrecognizable as such today. It is not all bad, of course, as there a lot of good people in New York, but I can say that I have done all that I can do, here (or there). After the calamitous financial collapse in the past September and October, I decided that was time to move. Please email me at my Contact Us link at the bottom of the page if you wish to say hello.
The building where we have resided for the past five years in Brooklyn, NY has sold and we are moving the entire inventory. Our listings are presently available on this site, rogercoybooks, Amazon, and Biblio and Abebooks.

However, please note that there may be delays in shipping that can take up to a week, although it may be immediate shipping, as well. Therefore, no rush orders. Also, if you need photographs please be patient. It will be best to email ahead in order to find out how quickly I can service your order.

I am intending to stay in business!

January 5^th, 2008

“Roger has too many books,” GeorgeAnn once said.

We are presently confronted with a very difficult prognosis for the immediate and long term financial future. I intend to remain in business throughout. To do this I will be cutting back but will continue to offer the highest customer service standards. You will notice that I have added the following tag to many books while repricing: "Price reflects the current depression and its devaluation". This speaks for itself. I am aggressively dealing with the situation by making my books more affordable, though I have consistently been in the lower price ranges for years on many of my most valuable items, anyway. Thank you.

The Max Silverman books, linked from: www.alba-valb.org:

We acquired a large collection of American history books, which have sold well. Presently there are still 184 of these books available. All are in Good to VG condition. These are primarily Revolution and Civil War, and include numerous socialist tracts, among which are numbered 18 Vols from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' Complete Works. I have been waiting for this load for over two years. We are in deep gratitude to a fine chap who goes by the name of Carl Silverman, as these were his father Max's books.
