For Sale: 10,000 Book Lot of Religion, History, & Philosophy

Longtime friends of Wipf & Stock will know that the press was originally started as a joint venture between John Wipf of Archives Bookshop in Pasadena and Jon Stock of Windows Booksellers here in Portland and Eugene. 

While the press has grown in ways we could not have imagined back in 1993, the Eugene bookshop has continued apace, plugging away in the basement of “The Strand" (an old Edsel dealership we share with the publisher), and more recently occupying an old corner grocery store in North Portland. We have been content as a small cohort of book lovers buying and selling quality scholarly books in religion, biblical studies, philosophy, and widely in the humanities.

In recent years we have had the good fortune to acquire many truly excellent collections of books from some great scholars. Unable to say "no" to great books even when duplicated in our inventory, we have found ourselves with more books than we can handle at our current capacity. This is where you come in.

We are offering a collection of 10,000 religion books, very strong in theology, biblical studies, church history, and commentaries. While we do not have an itemized list of the collection, we will be happy to answer any questions and can provide more pictures on request. 90% of the books are in VG+ condition with most of the hardcovers in dust jackets with mylar covers. 

Reasonable offers on this lot will be considered. We are able to coordinate domestic and international shipping and will be happy to answer any questions about the lot or logistical matters. You may inquire with Adam McInturf by email: adam@theologybooks.com. 

If you know of any party who might be interested, whether a new seminary, church library, or upstart bookseller, please feel free to forward this email to them.
