CALIVER BOOKS – http://www.caliverbooks.com/
Website for one of the leading history
bookshops available today, where students, teachers, history buffs, role
players and period re-enactors alike can buy new and second hand books on all
periods of English and World history, from ancient and Medieval, through The
English Civil War to the Napoleonic wars and World War Two and beyond. American
Civil War enthusiasts are as catered for as English ones. There are books on
Samurai culture too. Lists are given alphabetically, usually by title, with
many helpful sub-categories. Medievalists can quickly separate the Crusades
from the 100 Years War selections currently on offer. Magazine subscriptions
can be arranged through Caliver, who also produce first class facsimile
editions of period documents and material like authentic Elizabethan playing
cards Many books listed on here would be extremely difficult to find on Amazon
or Ebay, and general browsing through Caliver’s’ extensive constantly changing
lists always uncovers titles and themes that you never knew existed. Regular
e-mail updates can be easily arranged to keep you up to date on the latest
titles; there are also links to the best re-enactment groups and historic
societies, such as The Sealed knot Society and the National Living History Fayre.

booklists for each period are preceded by a brief history of the times, which
will give you some idea of whether or not your interests come under that
particular category. Caliver are always happy to reply to any questions or
queries anyway. They even list available fiction work set in various periods,
including fantasy and alternative history science fiction when applicable.
Undoubtedly the best resource of its kind presently online.
