Billthebookguy started in 1998 from my own personal collection, which was overtaking my house. Literally. I couldn't walk from room to room, so I did the only sensible thing: I bought a bigger house.

I also started selling books, both online and, until 2006, at a brick and mortar store. I estimate that I've sold more than 30,000 books in that decade-plus. My shipping supply company loves me, my post office hates me. Oh well, that's life.

You can check out my online reputation under Billthebookguy at Repatoo.com. I am a proud member of www.worldbookmarket.com, a guild of worldwide booksellers dedicated to providing the best books and service in the world.

I accept cash, checks (I reserve the right to wait until they clear), money orders, Google checkout, Paypal, barrels of oil, casks of precious gems and bars of either gold or platinum.
