My Favorite Old Books is a little woman-owned bookshop run out of my home on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I sell a carefully curated selection of vintage and antique books that reflects the good things about the world around us. From childhood books that bring back memories of bedtime to cookbooks with Grammy's best meatloaf recipe to poems that capture the beauty and frailty of the human condition. I love books. I love old, antique homes where I purchase many of my books. I love bringing a smile to your face when you open up your lovingly packaged book. Many of these antique books would be headed for landfills, so your purchase gives them a second chance at life. Thank you for supporting OUR favorite old books!
