Speleobooks
For those of you who don't know about Speleobooks, we started as a part time used bookstore for cavers. The idea was to earn some extra money so we could go caving more. Over the past 20 years we have expanded to a full time full service book and gift shop for cavers, bat scientists and bat enthusiasts. We primarily sell mail order and at conventions. We have customers all over the world. Our web page has been and will continue to be a great way to keep even closer contact with customers.
