Science Search - Free Search Service We are happy to search for rare and out-of-print science titles not found in our store--at no cost and no obligation. Simply let us know the name, title and publisher, if known, and we will begin the Science Search. Usually we can advise you within 3 weeks if the book can be located, in what condition, and at what price.
Prints, Maps and Objects We also stock a large selection of fine antiquarian prints and maps from the 16th to 19th century. Interesting scientific objects that you may find in the store include wax models of internal organs of animals, antique telescopes, or 18th century medical bags with original medicine samples intact.
