About Us
We started bookselling in 1973, offering historical works in psychology and philosophy under the name
"De Anima Books." Avebury Books was adopted as our name in 1990, shortly before opening our used
bookstore in Bowling Green, Ohio. Since 1993, we have been exclusively a mail-order and internet service.
The proprietor, Ryan D. Tweney, is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Bowling Green State University and
is known for his scholarly and scientific publications on the nature of scientific thinking, including a
number of papers on Michael Faraday. While continuing to lecture, write, and publish on these topics,
Tweney has lately been expanding his activities as a bookseller
