Welcome to the home of Up-Country Letters.

Up-Country Letters Fine and Rare Books is an internet rare bookselling concern operated in California by Mark Stirling. We specialize in Nineteenth Century American and English Literature, particularly American Renaissance and Transcendental Literature, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. We also maintain an inventory of general rare and fine antiquarian books and manuscripts, first editions, natural history (especially birding) books, andarchaeological books and monographs.

Please search or browse our inventory of hard to find, out of print, used, and rare books. If you can't find what you like please fill out our off-line search form and we will search our off-line inventory, other bookstores and book search services for you.
