1. Harvey Abrams - BOOKS HARVEY ABRAMS-BOOKS is an antiquarian book business founded in 1979 specializing in rare & out-of-print books on the Olympic Games & Sport History; as well as Olympic posters, medals, collectables & memorabilia. My educational background began in architecture but I became a Physical Education teacher and have a BS, MAT and Ph.D/abd in Physical Education. For my Ph.D. I specialized in History of Sport with a minor in American History. I am a professional Olympic Games & Sport Historian, conducting independent research, writing and publishing in various subjects. I started my antiquarian book business in 1979 in order to build a personal library on the Olympic Games and help my professional colleagues and graduate students develop their research collections. The business grew and today I also serve institutions, libraries and collectors worldwide through mail order catalogs, private treaty sales and auctions. An additional service that I provide is appraisals of Olympic Games and sports collections. The book business pages are commercial in nature. (All the pages are now being updated and they are being numbered for better webmaster control. You can identify each page in the lower left corner where you will see the initials "hab" which stands for "Harvey Abrams Books" followed by a three digit number. If I get to a thousand pages it will go to 4 digits. Above the page number you will see the date of the latest updates to that page, so you will be able to determine if the page has changed since your last visit. For example "hab001" is page 1, my front page). hab001 FRONT page for this web site -- frequently changed. hab002 Buying, Selling & Services Available hab003 CURRENT SALES LIST - Olympic Games Official Reports, Posters, books hab004 1992 Barcelona Official Report - English edition hab005 1992 Barcelona Official Report - Spanish edition hab006 SITE NAVIGATION page for this web site -- this page.
