New Books

For many years we have had a book table at conferences where attendees could browse and purchase many books that were of interest to NEARA members. We would love to resume that service, but we need someone who loves NEARA and loves books to volunteer to run that table. Contact us at librarian@neara.org if you are interested.

But people like to buy books even when there's no conference, so we have started a virtual book table. We became an Amazon Associate so that we can earn a small percentage from qualifying purchases. If there are books that you think belong on this list, tell us.

Remember that we are still selling old books from the library: Library Book Sale. Please search there for any books that you might be interested in, at least as cheap as at Amazon.

Library Book Sale

NEARA is grateful to the many donors of books and videos that we have acquired over the years. See our listings at: NEARA.Library. Those donations have resulted in a wide variety of interesting titles, reflecting the eclectic interests of NEARA members.

The donations have also resulted in many duplicate titles and in the acquisition of books that are sometimes not completely aligned with NEARA's principal interests. With our move to a more affordable but smaller location, we find we do not have room for everything that we have. Hence we are offering for sale hundreds of duplicate books and books that are not central to our interests.
