From time to time, the SCFOL acquires collector editions or rare books through the generous donation of supporters of the Library.  Our book donation sorters comb the internet and rare-find book stores for comparable editions.  This requires hours of volunteer hours on their part.  Following their research, they price these rare finds at a very competitive price, for you, the buyer.  We hope you will check this area of the website often in search of a great buy!

    Currently, we have the following special editions to offer:
