About Harvest Moon Farm Book Cellar Texas, United States

Biblio member since 2005
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 3 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

Harvest Moon Farm Book Cellar is a family owned and operated on-line bookstore. We are building a small non-conventional farm in the Texas Hill Country. We operate our bookstore out of a small outbuilding. Our books are located by searching every garage sale and thrift store, that we can, in over seven counties. We love the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of placing one person's unwanted book in the hands of someone who needs it (it also helps pay for the books we get to keep for ourselves).

Terms of Sale: All materials may be returned for a full refund if material does not meet the customers full expectations. 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed.

First line

IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA or in the valley of the Nile, you could look around at a landscape interrupted only by a farmhouse or a town or a temple and imagine that the world continued like that.
