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. Posting announcements will be e-mailed directly to

our customers, and posted on the Geoscience Books home

page at www.geosciencebooks.com as an html document.

You may request a copy to be e-mailed as a pdf as well.

    Our currently posted catalog is MINING ORES AND

INDUSTRIAL ROCKS AND MINERALS posted March

2009. Our next catalog will focus on a good selection

of Oil Gas and Coal literature. 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
