In 2012, I found myself in significant credit card debt. I met the love of my life and needed to find a way to get rid of that debt in order to be able to afford an engagement ring. So I purchase over 2,000 books off of Craigslist, carried them to my 14th floor studio apartment via shopping cart, and began to learn the business of selling books. Quite quickly, I paid of the debt, bought the ring, and "got the girl" so to speak.
Fast forward to 2024, I took the plunge and turned Buzz Bookstore from a side business to a full time bookstore. Today, I am a member of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA) and offer thousands of rare books for sale online and at book fairs. I specialize in early 20th century travel/exploration books, classic literature, vintage fairy tales, occult titles, early science fiction/horror, and much more. If you do not find something tempting, please feel free to visit the Contact tab and let me know what I can get for you.
All books are hand curated, listed, and packed by me alone. I aim to ship within 24 hours whenever possible but will note in the Announcement bar at the top of all pages if I am temporarily away or there are any other unexpected delays.
