VJ
Books
VJ
Books started in 1998, and soon learned that our
customer was
foremost a collector. Their customers sought
collector grade first
edition books, preferably signed by the author.
In an effort to respond to this demand, VJ Books has
developed
relationships with publishers, authors and their agents to
provide a
continuous supply of new titles for our customers. Each
month our
customers are able to choose from dozens of author-signed
books from
some of the most exciting, highly acclaimed authors in the
areas of
mystery, suspense, sci-fi and horror. Additionally, we
continue to offer an impressive selection of backlist,
rare,
out-of-print, and special edition titles.
To expand our reach and visibility to the book collector,
VJ Books lists
several hundred books on eBay each week. We are proud to
be an eBay
Powerseller and have a highly regarded reputation for
quality
collectible modern fiction and friendly and professional
customer
service.
