Welcome to Appalachianbooks.com!

Welcome to Appalachianbooks.com, your source for books about the Southern Appalachian Mountain Region.  Although this site is being developed late in the summer of 1998, it is part of a larger family business, Appalachian Mountain Books, which we started in 1982 to offer Appalachian books for sale by mail order and from a traveling display. 

You can buy books from this site quickly and inexpensively because we are linked directly to books.com, a leading on-line bookseller.      After each book write-up you will see **Click here to order**  When you click there, you will not have to order the book.   You will simply be taken to books.com 's write-up of the book so you can find out the editions available and their prices.   Of course if you do  wish to order, you can simply follow their instructions.    When ordering, please be sure to click on the box which says, "compare prices" and when books.com does not have the lowest initial price, click on "click here to see our new lower price."  Click anywhere on this blue text to find out why we choose books.com

  Books--all available for sale--are listed on this site by categories, both subject categories and special categories.   Simply click on the category to see the book listings there.
