Rising Dove Bookstore, owned and operated by Miriam A. Kilmer, specializes in collectible books from the library of her parents, Kenton and Frances Kilmer. Many are from the libraries of Joyce Kilmer, Aline Kilmer, and F. C. Frieseke. First editions and books autographed by or for the Kilmers' famous ancestors are available. Because the condition of the books is not perfect, there are some great bargains to be found. We also have many used books, and just a few new gems. Appleseed Recordings liked our web site and asked us to sell their Social-Justice-themed recordings.
