About this seller

Natural History Books is an independent, rare book retailer operating out of Iowa City, IA. The business is owned and operated by Noriko and Russell Ciochon. We only sell books through our NHB website and other book service websites. We do not offer books for sale within the state of Iowa. We specialize in rare and hard to find books in all areas of natural history especially ornithology, herpetology, ichthyology, mammalogy, paleontology, botany, evolutionary biology and travel and exploration. Our rare and hard-to-find book section has many fine hand-colored plate books. Our latest acquisition is the academic mycology collection of University of Michigan mycologist Alexander H. Smith. In his lifetime (1904-1986), Smith published 200 articles, books, and monographs about fungi. His private research library was extensive. We are always buying natural history books if you have a collection to offer, please contact us at noriko@naturalhistorybooks.com or by calling (319) 354-9088. Nearly all books we sell are in very good or better condition. We have tried to describe condition precisely. Books described as FINE are in as new condition. NEAR FINE books show only slight signs of wear. VERY GOOD books show below average wear. Books described as GOOD usually have some condition problems. We do not carry books that are rated lower than good condition. You can email us at noriko@naturalhistorybooks.com
