Bequaret Old Books

For many years, I purchased royal books from Lucia Bequaret, who, with her husband, runs Bequaret Books in New Hampshire. The store's royal catalogs were always exciting, and interesting.  Times have changed, the Bequaret Old Books will no longer be publishing catalog.

Here is an excerpt from Lucia's letter.  "Hover, you can have the best of both worlds by going directly to our website.  Just go to http://www.beqbooks.com/ and click on "Search our Books," and the follow the instructions. You can then type in a choice of keywords, e.g., Royalty, for general books, or more specifically, Russia, Great Britain, etc.  "Balkans" yields you about four or five  royal houses.  Or try Windsor, Romanovs, etc., well you get the idea.  For example, I have recently acquired a small but important Romanov collection, in which there are about a dozen Russian-language picture books of the Romanovs, particularly of the family of the last Tsar.  There are other treasures as well, including reprints of those hard-to-find titles done by Royalty Digest and Pavlosk Press.  And, please, don't hesitate to call us or email us for more information.  We take credit cards, PayPal, etc., and will hold for your check.
We all have to change with the times, but I am proud to say that we will have an open bookshop during the months of April - November.  And we're always open by appointment if you call ahead.  We still, with other bookstores in the region, have our big "Around-the Mountain-Sales in April and November, which have become a New England tradition."

Bequaret Old Books is located in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire.   Their email address is info@beqbooks.com. Phone number is 603-585-338.

Bequaret Books are available through ABEm Alibris, Biblio and Amazon.
