IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The new Stillman Books bookstore opened on Aug. 15th, 2016
at 15158 North Bluff Rd. (16th Ave.), White Rock, B.C.
in Central Plaza, across the street from Semiahmoo Mall.
"Thank You" to all the White Rock/South Surrey residents
who have already dropped in to buy books and wish me success.
A shout out too to several old customers who have visited from
Port Moody and Coquitlam.
The store is open every day, basically from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
slightly shorter hours on Sunday and Monday.
Come see a wide assortment of quality secondhand, collectible
and scarce books presented in an orderly fashion.
Featured right now is an extensive collection of beautiful, leather-bound
Easton Press books, many still in their original shrinkwrap.
These prized books could be a distinguished addition to your own
library, or make outstanding gifts for family and friends.
Many classic authors are represented, from Caesar and Aristophanes,
Andersen and Grimm, Dickens, Twain, Wells and Verne, to more modern
authors such as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Wodehouse, Steinbeck
and Vidal.
Easton Press also published many non-fiction history and military
titles, plus a series of science fiction titles, several of which
are signed by the author.
Please come by to view the Easton Press books as well as the many
thousands of other fine books, including a large collection of
children's and illustrated books.
Don't forget to tell your friends that White Rock has
a used bookstore once more.

Hi! I am Terry Stillman and I closed my retail storefront
bookstore at 1321 Kingsway, Vancouver, B.C. in June, 2002. In all, I have
been buying and selling books for over forty years. Children's
& Illustrated Books has been a constant specialty. To that I have
added Aviation as a second specialty, concentrating on titles
dealing with WWII, but also carrying some Pioneer and WWI material,
including some technical books. Due to a conversion in Fall, 1999
from a General Bookstore to a Specialty Bookstore I now carry
many fewer types of books. Currently, besides Children's and
Aviation books, I also have representative sections of Art Books,
Military, Naval, Espionage, History, some Fishing, Golf, and
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. See the list below. You will find some
illustrated catalogues of books for sale on this website.
I took over the Jolly Olde Bookstore in December, 2010 and
closed it on July 17th, 2016 to reopen in White Rock, B.C.
See above for details.
NOTE: SOME OF THE CATALOGUES LISTED HERE ARE MONTHS OUT OF DATE
DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS AND TIME CONSTRAINTS, HOWEVER, PROGRESS IS
BEING MADE. PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT BOOKS IN WHICH YOU'RE INTERESTED...
CHANCES ARE THAT THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE.
POLICY: All prices quoted are in Canadian Dollars All
books are subject to prior sale. Shipping charges are extra: in
Canada, $13.50 for the lst book, $4.50 for each additional book;
to the U.S., $16.50 for the lst book under 1 kg (just over 2 lb.),
larger books extra; other countries, $16.00 for the first book
under 1 kg., up to 2 kg. for $22.00. Insurance charges at cost.
Heavier books may require extra postage.
Canadian residents please add 5% GST. Payment may be made with
a personal or business cheque (Canada and U.S. only), money order,
bank draft, Visa card or Master Card. All items are returnable
in the same condition within l0 days of receipt; please advise us
in advance of any returns. Books will be held for two weeks;
if payment is not received within that time, the books will be
reoffered for sale.
I am no longer listing books for sale on any book-matching sites,
so my inventory is only available through this website or
through my open store, Stillman Books in White Rock, B.C.
For information on fine binding, visit the website of a three-generation
bookbinding family: Richard Smart of Burnaby, British Columbia and
father John Smart of Lewisham, England.
