About AST Press
I have been selling books dealing with the Indian wars, especially George Custer, since 1986. I first published my own books under my own imprint of AST Press. More recently, I have published my books through other publishers, most notably the University of Oklahoma Press. I also buy and resell the book collections of other individuals. Other genres now include the Civil War, Old West, biographies and others. We are always open to by collections. I sell through our own web site, Indianwarsbooks.com, and others such as Biblio.com. I also continue to set up my inventory books at shows, including the Little Big Horn Associates, the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Assn. and Civil War shows.
