About Us

Our Story: From the Lecture Hall to Your Bookshelf

At Biblioway, we believe that every book has a journey. Ours began in the lecture halls of universities and the quiet aisles of used bookstores, where our founder first discovered the magic of a well-worn page.

With a PhD in Language and Literature and over 15 years in education and publishing, our founder has spent a lifetime studying the power of words. His career has been a global pursuit of knowledge—from serving as an Editor-in-Chief for literary magazines to teaching in classrooms across Brazil, the USA, Canada, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Albania.

Today, that journey continues in the heart of the library. Currently serving as a professional librarian for a school board, our founder combines academic rigor with the daily expertise of a literary custodian. Throughout years of traveling and teaching, one dream remained: to create a home for books that are as rare and valuable as the stories they tell.

A Family Tradition of Trust

We aren't a faceless corporation. We are a family of five—father, mother, two sons, and a daughter—working together to bring world-class literature to your door.

For us, our sole reason for existing is not to make money. This is not a typical profit-driven business; it is a passion project. We know that our long-term success only comes if we put our readers first. By prioritizing your experience over our bottom line, we ensure that as a family, we can serve book lovers for generations to come.

"We operate on a simple principle: We would rather lose money than lose your trust."

The Librarian’s Promise

Because our founder is a working librarian, we treat our inventory with a level of care that goes beyond the standard bookstore. When you purchase from us, you receive the Librarian’s Promise:

  • Rigorous Inspection: Every volume is personally inspected for structural integrity, from the binding to the leaf quality.

  • Accurate Grading: We provide honest, detailed descriptions of a book’s condition, so there are no surprises when you open your package.

  • Archival Respect: We handle our rare and vintage editions with the same care used in special collections, ensuring they are preserved for the next generation of readers.

Our Collection

While we offer a "little bit of everything," our hearts lie in rare and valuable editions. We don’t just sell you a book; we provide the history and context that makes that volume special. Whether it is a hard-to-find academic text or a vintage literary gem, we ensure it is handled with the professional respect it deserves.
