Still, one man, David Lindsay, remains faithful to his king and seeks to protect him from those who would keep him prisoner while ruling in his name.

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
