About Frenchboro Books Maine, United States

Biblio member since 2005
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 1 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

We handle books from academic libraries (from institutions and scholars), both deaccessions and gift books from alumni, and from closed Seminary Bookstores. Our original location was on a remote island in Maine, the Island of Frenchboro, and thus the origin of our name. For a time we operated a brick and mortar store in Bangor four days a week, and then moved that to the Antique Marketplace on Main Street in Bangor, which still caries some of our stock. The major stock of our business is now housed in Louisville, Colorado. Our listings can include a wide range of material, but the majority are non-fiction, scholarly works.

Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavier, or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
