this is my business

Open since the spring of 1988 we have thirty thousand books, well-organized and easily found. Practically all our books have their dust jackets wrapped in clear plastic, mylar dust jacket protectors. (We also sell these separately.) Our books are noted for their excellent condition, one reason being that we do minor repairs so that you will not find books with loose or cracked hinges or detached illustrations. We also take care to collate all books with illustrations or maps to make sure that every book is complete, if a book should be incomplete it is noted as such next to the price. We do not practice Caveat Emptor in this store. The role of a rare book dealer is not to trick the customer but to be a helpful guide. Honesty and trust is a vital element in the mail-order business. What this means in practice is good manners, prompt responses, and a sincere desire to satisfy the customer. Although we began in 1988 our staff has worked with books since 1968. We accept want lists. Call us at 248-549-0220.

Classic Book Shop is the only place I go to for used books. You can count on David to make a knowledgeable unbiased recommendation. And unlike some book "warehouses", this one is well organized and the staff has a very good idea of what they have in stock and what not. Right across from Art Van on Woodward in Royal Oak -- check it out!

Wonderful selection of rare and interesting books. Lots of beautiful art books for that special gift. Very neat and orderly and clean. A great place to browse and discover that one of a kind treasure. Very well lit and there are stools provided to stand on to get to that high book. My favorite book store in the whole area!

It is hard to find a used book store that is neat, clean and where the book isles are plainly marked for easy browsing. David Oyerly the manager is one of the most knowledgeable dealers I have encountered and if he doesn't have a book he will find it for you. He has a wonderful selection and carries quality books at reasonable prices. This is the place to get that rare find! There are no "junk" books in this well ordered shop and fascinating discoveries are always around the next isle. It is my favorite book store and the nicest one in the whole area!
