collectSPACE Boggs SpaceBooks closes shop, consigns space history library to auctionFor more than 15 years, Donald Boggs has been the go-to guy for books about space. His online shop, Boggs SpaceBooks, has offered new and used books about rockets, missiles, high-altitude research, X-planes and the history of space exploration since 1999. On Monday (May 30), Boggs is announcing he is closing his store and that its remaining inventory, together with his personal library, is headed to auction on June 9.  |

That's too bad. They assisted me several times with opinions on books I'd either purchased or was thinking about purchasing. They will be missed. I wish them well in their future endeavors. |

That's a shame for our community.I've bought quite a few books from Donald over the years, and I'm sure many of us have gone to Boggs SpaceBooks when we were looking for our signed copies. Many thanks from me for many years of trusted, and valued service, and good luck to them enjoying their newly recovered spare time! |

I'm really sorry to hear this. Boggs Spacebooks will be sorely missed. They provided quite a few prized volumes on my bookshelves. Sincere good wishes to Donald and Tamara, and many thanks for being there. |

Very sad to hear Don and Tamara are moving on. Not only was I able to pick up some rare volumes from them, as well as signed editions, they always offered good advice and pointed me in the right direction. I wish them all the best for the future. |
