Pegasus Books

 

Pegasusbooks.biz, is an online, only,  bookstore, opened in 1999. I have been a lifelong bibliophile and found that selling books online was a perfect solution for harnessing my love of books with being an independent business owner. My goal is having satisfied customers from around the world, fulfilling their book buying needs by carrying a wide selection of high quality, well described titles. I endeavor to run my business in a professional, customer friendly manner. I look forward to helping customers on a continuous basis.

Specialties

 

I specialize in Horse, Dog, Animal books, as well as Art, Architecture, Decorative Arts, and Automobile/Engineering and Service Manuals, as well as original Native American/Indian monographs. In the horse category I have a well filled catalogue of DRESSAGE books, modern and classical masters, as well as many titles on complementary care and healing methods, jumping, and various other aspects and disciplines of horse care, riding and training. I always keep in stock the highly desirable "Conditioning Sport Horses" and "The Dynamic Horse," signed by Dr. Hilary Clayton. These are brand new books.   Additionally, I have multiple new copies of "The Dressage Horse, English Translation of Chapter III" by Harry Boldt, another scarce title.  As of the beginning of 2013 I am now carrying the dual language, German/English edition of the 1978 classic by Harry Boldt Das Dressur Pferd-the Dressage Horse.  This book is entirely translated into English, along with the original German, on each page,  with an additional section at the rear of the book. 

How I Named Pegasus Books:

 

As well as being a lifelong bibliophile I have also been horse crazed my entire life. I am the proud owner of a wonderful dressage horse, Monty, a Canadian Sport Horse gelding. Pegasus Books is named in his honor, as when I ride him I feel as if I am riding through the clouds, in a magical partnership. Pegasus Books allow me to fulfill two passions at once: dealing in books and supporting Monty in the pampered lifestyle, which I have believe he has earned, and he has no doubts he absolutely deserves. Monty is VERY accustomed to lots of treats on a regular basis; your buying books keeps him well supplied with innumerable horse goodies. Should anyone wish to have horse discussions, I love hearing about other folks' horses and sharing info about Monty.

My wonderful inspiration, and equine partner, HRH Monty,  joined his ancestors in June 2012.  I can never thank him for all he taught me, his patience, kindness and perfect manners with me, allowing me to share his life. The last couple of years of his life Monty was living his dream---the much desired stage of 'pasture ornament.'  Because of so many of the things he taught me I was able to find a new dressage partner, a lovely PMU horse Detroit Diesel.  He  also is certain he is deserving of non-stop treats and a dream horse life style.  A big, handsome, dappled bay Clydesdale/Thoroughbred x, I'm passing on many of the lessons I learned from Monty to Detroit Diesel; in return he is teaching me as much, if not more.  Every horse is a new learning experience. 

 Once again I've been very lucky to have found a truly lovely. sane, kind, beautiful moving and gentle horse to share my horse addiction.   The saddle even fits him!   He is just starting his dressage career.   The adventure begins anew; teaching and learning, with a new horse.  Every ride is a challenge, to keep up with his big, wonderful strides, and learn to adjust to his needs and abilities.  As Charles de Kunffy says, in a lesson there are 3 members: the horse, the rider/student, and the teacher/coach.  Luckily, Detroit Diesel is as patient and kind as Monty was, tolerating my weaknesses and foibles, while teaching me what he needs to learn. I'm one lucky book dealer! 


As a strong believer in animal rescues, I feel very fortunate to have a PMU horse for my new riding horse.   Classical dressage is fun to learn with such a terrific equine partner.

Book Buying: I am always looking for quality books to add to my inventory. Contact me if you have books to sell; I will come to YOU at your convenience. I pay CASH $$$$$$ for books.

Customer comments:


Hi Joyce

This morning I picked up the package.  At least half of the joy in the
purchase is the pickup and first opening of the books.  I will share some
moments leafing through them with my wife this evening when we meet so she
can at least verify (and possibly enjoy) her great gift to me.

I hope you enjoy De Kunffy.  He is a lucid writer (and I presume speaker as
well) and I think I have all his books.  I hope he is also of practical
help.

Many thanks for your follow up on the order.

Until the next order .... 

Kind regards

A & E, Cyprus, 6 March 2013
I picked up the book you shipped me, "Smart Little Lena: The Grand Slam Years" by Gala Nettles.  You said on the phone that it was a beautiful book, but I had absolutely NO IDEA how beautiful it was.  Thank you!
 
This is my horse, Jesse  
And you were right that Smart Little Lena is important in his lineage, so the book is especially welcome.
 
Now that I see how beautiful the book is, though, I'm going to read it cover to cover with care, and then put it where it will stay as nice as it is.  :-)
 
Again, my thanks.

  •                           Dear Ms. Mogill:

                               I was flabbergasted when your shipping refund came in the mail.  I do a considerable amount of shopping through the internet and no one has ever refunded late                              express mail charges until now.  As far as I was concerned, you tried your best to get the book to me in time, you wrapped the gift, and you kept on top                                             the order until it was delivered.  Never did I expect to get a refund. I thought customer services was an antiquated concept, until now.So far I've                                 told   three people about your company and how you treat your customers. 

                               Hopefully your company will continue to grow and prosper.

                              Thank you.

                              Sincerely,
                              JF

Hi Joyce, Monty Detroit Diesel.  I had purchased a few carrots for you guys but I simply could not resist them, so consumed them!!!!
 

    Maybe next time if you are lucky!!
 
    Just to let you know that your treasure has arrived safe and sound in perfect condition....and a big thank you to you for the superb packing of the book, that is what I would define as being exceptional - the best packing that we have ever encountered .....gold star for you!!!!!!   We could tell you lots of sagas we have had with regards to bad packaging of books that we have ordered in the past!!!

Not "one of the best" but the best packaging and shipping experiences for a book. As an avid book person, I got a book in collectible condition. Amazon.com should take lessons from this seller about how to ship books.
