About Furrowed Brow Books

Furrowed Brow Books offers an eclectic selection mostly in the humanities, while providing specialty offerings in Eastern Orthodoxy and Byzantine civilization, theology, Christian mysticism, science fiction/fantasy (Tolkien and Inklings emphasis), and military history (esp American Civil War).

Furrowed Brow Books was established in 2020. The bookstore's owner, Paul Purman, grew up in a magical, historic farmhouse in piedmont Maryland stuffed with books. In 2021 Paul was accepted as a member of the Independent Online Booksellers' Association (IOBA), and graduated from the annual Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS-Minnesota).

We're happy to discuss making an offer on a collection in one of our specialty areas.
