WELCOME to Yesterday's Book Shop.  Our family started selling in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner, operating in a small town called Walkersville, MD.  In 1975 my father changed the name to Yesterday's Book Shop and eventually moved to Delaware where he operated several storefronts in the Rehoboth Beach, Millsboro and Lewes areas.

In the mid-2000's his health forced him to close his storefront though he continued to operate out of antique malls when he was able to.  As his son, I was planning on taking over the family business once I retired.  Sadly, my father passed away just a few years before I was able to retire and join him in managing the family business.

The brick and mortar inventory is nearly all gone. What I am selling off now is his private inventory - what he always called his "BOB" the best of the best books he came across in collecting over the past 70+ years.  When he passed, I inherited his private collection and am now in the process of slowly selling off his personal library.  There are approximately 12,000-14,000 books, each hand-picked well before the days of the internet and packed away for years.  Currently, I have about 30% of the titles listed and try and add an additional 50-100 books a month.

If you would like additional images of any of the books we have for sale, please let me know.  I am not interested in purchasing books as this is not a business.  I am downsizing and selling off a large collection and once the books are gone the name Yesterday's Book Shop will be no more.

Starting in 2022 I will only be selling through Biblio.com or direct sales.
