• HESPERIA Booksellers Firm is ongoing since its 1954 set up. The nearly fifty years' steady professional dedication of last three generations in the MARQUINA family has put together a large and fine selected collection of Rare and Scholarly Books, Old and New, gathering a wide range of fields, with particular speciality on HISPANISTICA and AMERICANA.

• Our ever growing Stock includes not only rare antiquarian and hard-to-locate books, but substantial out-of-date and out-of-print monographs of the recent past. Among others, the areas on which the main interest of our holdings can be exemplified run from Hispanic Literatures, Philology, History, Social Movements, History of Ideas, Science & Medicine, to such matters as Judaica -Sepharad and its Diaspora-, Arabica -AIl-Andalus and its Heritage-; and, last but not least, America, its History and Literatures. The definite multiple fields covered are all those that shows the «SUBJECT INDEX» enclosed within the «Search» feature of this web site, that fits exactly to our own database indexation system.

• Throughout the around hundred published Catalogues and Occasional Lists we have put forth on sale only a minor part of our holdings. HESPERIA plan has evolved and is off to start putting up for sale an increasing lot of thematic selections from stock on this web, to be sold exclusively on-line.

• We agree that Bookseller is, in fact, the one who makes the Book become ready, actually at hand. So he merits being cared for that ubiquitous selling Remedy against his own and another's unlearnedness, such an Apothecary, through perishable pills of accumulated memory known as Books. Those Books, Jano incarnate, that possess two faces, one looking past, another seeing future, the embodiment of "æternitas", and so suitable for fruitful fecundity by virtue of the intercoursal warmth of forthcoming lectures. Keep always in mind that book, libro "liber" means also "free", as says the lionese printer Hugo de la Porte emblem: «Libertatem meam mecum porto», that can be read as "I bring liberation with me and my books".

• Feliciter lege ut felicior sis.
