ANNOUNCEMENTS/NEW LISTINGS

     We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Geoscience Books, formerly of Libby, Montana, effective August 1, 2006. Upper Midwest Geology and Natural History Books has changed its name accordingly and is now Geoscience Books. Since its inception in 1989 and under the stewardship of its founder, Michael Cowan, Geoscience Books grew to become the most prominent internet-based source for earth science books. Michael is true gentleman and firm believer in customer care, and that tradition will continue under our ownership.

     The merging of our respective stocks of books, bulletins, journals, atlases, offprints and pamphlets that pertain to the earth sciences and related subjects has created an inventory of nearly 50,000 titles. It will take some time to catalog and enter into inventory this vast literature, and that work is currently underway. This site (www.raregeologybooks.com) will continue to host our online inventory.

     We will continue the Geoscience Books tradition of issuing quarterly and occasional subject-oriented web catalogs. These will be e-mailed directly to our customers, and also posted on the Geoscience Books home page at www.geosciencebooks.com as both html document. Our currently posted catalog is MINING AND MINING DISTRICTS, posted October 28, 2006. Our next catalog will focus on older publications of the U. S. Geological Survey. If you would like to

be placed on our e-mailing list, please send your e-mail address to me at raregeologybooks@earthlink.net . Note that all e-mail addresses are used solely for book sales within our business and are NOT provided to anyone else under any circumstances. Your privacy is respected and your continued patronage highly valued.

     Want lists are always accepted. For now, please address those to Phillip Huber at raregeologybooks@earthlink.net. Please be as specific as possible with your wants, and include author, title, publisher, serial or volume number, etc... We are always interested in the purchase of single volumes to entire libraries. Please give us the opportunity to consider your holdings and make a fair offer. Geoscience Books looks forward to serving your geoscience literature needs for many decades to come!

Sincerely,

Phillip Huber, Bookseller/Geologist
