Description

About our Store

Our business was first established as Stone of Scone Antiques in 1976 in Connecticut. About 10 years later, my husband Tom, who had become intrigued with Samuel Colt and Colt Firerms (we lived close to Hartford, the home of Colt Firearms), became a Federally Licensed Firearm dealer. We sold and appraised antique and collectible firearms and ammunition.

Eventually we became disenchanted with antiques. Being a book lover most of my life, I decided to add books to our shop. We started with one bookcase and within six months we were putting an addition on the shop - just for the books. Then the books started to overflow into the house and we decided to list our books on-line. Therefore, Books by Jan was born.

In October 2000, we closed our shop and relocated to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. We purchased a 50-acre mountain and built our semi-retirement log home on the top. We are 2,360'high with a view of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mt. Jefferson in North Carolina, and Mt. Rogers in Virginia. Daily we watch the deer graze in our front and back yards, peer at the wild turkeys as they devour the grasshoppers and insects, and just simply - enjoy our new home.
