Dividing Line Books was founded by Evan Miller in 2018 after several years of intermittent bookselling and many more of dedicated bibliophilia. We are literary generalists operating from a position of restless, democratic curiosity — curiosity which we feel confident will lead us down paths of increasing specialization as time goes on.

N.B. At present, this site represents only about half of our total inventory, a larger proportion of which can be found on Abebooks and Biblio.com. Expect more books to migrate over in the coming weeks and months. Interested parties are encouraged to get in touch with any questions, or to use the Newsletter field at bottom to receive future catalogs.
