Homeopathic Educational Services was lucky to obtain some extremely valuable and rare 1st and early edition “antiquarian” homeopathic books.  We are pleased that we can make them available to you (finally).

Do NOT send us a check for payment since we may no longer have the copy of the book(s) you want to have.  Instead, we recommend that you email us to confirm if we have the book on this list still available.  Make certain to let us know what state and country you will want the books sent so that we can inform you the shipping costs.  You can pay via credit card or check (drawn from a U.S. bank).  You will be able to send us your credit card information securely via our website.  Once we confirm that we have the book(s) you want, we will provide some simple instruction on how to place an order for these books at our website.

If more than one book is purchased, we will consider providing some discounts.  If you are a re-seller, please let us know, and we will let you know what wholesale discounts may be available.

Most of the books are in reasonably good condition.  Exceptions to this general rule are described.  For your information, we may have used some words unfamiliar to you:

 

Frayed (the leather or cloth is worn down);

Loose (refers to binding; this means that the page or cover is still intact but it is loose);

Torn off or Off (when page or cover is not intact);

foxing is when a paper becomes brownish.

“TJM” refers to a nameplate with “From the Library of Dr. Thomas J. Meyers, Pasadena”

California sales tax (9.50% for CA. customers) & shipping is additional.
