     Welcome to the home of The Ridge Books, located in Calhoun, Georgia and owned by Lee and Bob Linn. Please search or browse our inventory of hard to find, out of print, used, and rare books and ephemera.  We specialize in Georgia and Southern writers and topics, as well as Native American and African - American related items, music and gardening, plus a little of many other topics.   We are always adding new books, so check back frequently for new listings. Use our Offline Search feature to check for books that we might not have listed yet, or can locate for you.  If your order totals $25.00 or more, Media Mail shipping in the US is free.

    A note about packaging:  we reuse clean sturdy packing materials whenever possible.  Gift wrap, silver paper with blue ribbon, is available for $2.00 per item.  Quotes for international shipping are based on using a flat rate Priority envelope.  Many books will not fit in one, so please inquire about shipping cost before ordering.  We really hate for you to expect $17 and be charged $35!   


     Recently we have been buying quite a few books of and about music, as well as some early sheet music. One piece is a first edition copy of Casey Jones, The Brave Engineer, by Seibert and Newton, published in 1909.  Bob became interested in the origins of this well-known song and wrote an essay based on his research.  To read the essay, click on Casey Jones, Wallis Simpson, Et.Al. in the left hand column.  Shown below are some of our recent music acquisitions.
