Chirurgie Lib
I have been collecting old Medical Books, specifically old surgical books, for a number of years. This has been a very interesting and educational hobby for me so I thought I might try and capitalize on it.
My special interests are Surgical Books of the 19th Century, especially books of the American Civil War era. I am interested in purchasing old books (1st editions) that are in reasonably good condition. In the future, I will list on this Web Page books which I currently have for sale. I am in the process of inventorying and evaluating my collection in order to expand the list for this Web site.
