Rogercoybooks is no longer in Bellefonte, 4 months and out !NO used bookstore in Bellefonte
ONLINE SALES PROCEED APACE,
WE WILL SHIP IT!
WE HAVE THE BUILDING PERMIT, THANKS TO THE LANDLORD, but he installed the wrong ceiling, none the wiser as they say.
Due to certain issues, I believe it best to be circumspect at this time. Suffice it to say that the Bellefonte venture was a small disaster, although I did meet a lot of good people.
The borough, like the entirety of Pennsylvania, has adopted the International Building Code 2009. This document stipulates that certain improvements be made so that the building is eventually up to code. Upon change of use, these improvements become mandatory. The borough is procedurally audited by Harrisburg, it is not a small town issue.
My most sincere appreciation to everyone in Bellefonte who have welcomed me and I introduced this fine city.
I have moved from Bellefonte with no intention presently of returning for anything other than a visit.
if you wish to contact me, I kept my NYC cell phone: (718)496-2510 or bookrector@gmail.com

Russian Literature Translated into English
Also of interest to the international readers, we recently uploaded over 40 Russian books in translation from that delightful event, The Cold War. These books are from the classic Foreign Languages Press and Progress Publishers, Printed in the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic. The president must have read many of these back in college. There are at least 10 titles from Maxim Gorky. Only a few are without the dust jacket; click Here to view the list or paste the following into my Keyword window to the left: Russia::Translated into English
MOST OF THESE HAVE PICTURES, ALSO!
I have approximately 100,000 used books, including a large quantity of Medical and Science books, which is my primary specialty.The store is located at 115 N. Allegheny, Bellefonte, and I intend to open on or around June 10th. 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.

I am intending to stay in business!
January 5th, 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.

About Us
We are a large online bookstore offering a total of 7,400 books with over 5,000 listings in medical and professional categories. Our antiquated medical selections reach into the 18th Century; and our single-author, single-topic specialized selections are deep. We also buy collections of all sizes, primarily on or near the east coast of the United States, with certain exceptions, of course. RogerCoyBooks is based in New York City.
Our selections are for the most part used books, but you will find numerous items clearly marked New or As New. We take pains to list the condition of our books correctly.Some wise words from Sence of Various Matters of Weight and Consequence Relating Especially to Religion and State by John Seldon, published in 1639: "Books, Authors. The giving a Bookfeller his price for his Books has this advantage, he that will do fo, fhall have the refufal of whatfoever comes to his hand, and fo by that means get many things, which otherwise he never fhould have feen. So 'tis in giving a Bawd her price."
We Are Constantly Growing, or sort of
The year 2008 provided reasonable acquisitions. We are constantly buying both small and large amounts of books of all sorts. We work tirelessly to make this retail online operation profitable while at the same time keeping our prices competitive, but fees are becoming problematic in listing on various sites and we are considering limiting our listings to this site and one or two others. Our primary goals remain the same now as they were when we began as a small bookstand on the sidewalks of NYC almost seven years ago: to list the books properly and ship them as swiftly as possible.
