About Kukuchai Books
Kukuchai Books has been selling books on-line since December 2004. It has been both an adventure and a pleasure to send my books half-way around the world in every direction. An adventure because my books have traveled farther than I ever will. Through their travels I have imagined flying to Japan or Australia or boarding a ship for South Africa. And a pleasure when I receive an e-mail thanking me for a book remembered from childhood or a replacement for a very precious, lost book.Kukuchai Books will continue to provide books for your reading and collecting enjoyment. I specialize in Literature, Collectible, Vintage, and hard-to-find volumes.
