Used & Rare Adventure Books

Used & Rare Adventure Books

The adventure shelf features used, rare and out-of-print books of exploration, treasure-hunting and travel into wild country. A standout is Erle Stanley Gardner's Hunting Lost Mines by Helicopter: Adventure in the American Desert, in which the creator of Perry Mason takes to the Southwest in search of lost prospects.

Alongside titles like this you may find narratives of expeditions, prospecting and the outdoors, tales of the American desert and frontier, and other real-life quests, in editions ranging from early printings to later hardcovers and paperbacks sought by collectors. It is a shelf for readers who enjoy true stories of exploration and the pull of remote, hard-to-reach places.

Condition and availability vary from copy to copy, as is normal for used and rare stock, so the titles on hand change over time. Browse the collection and order online.
