About Desert Wind Rare Books

The wild nature of desert winds is often associated with unpredictability. Similarly, stumbling upon a rare book can be unexpected & thrilling. On a day dedicated to book hunting amidst the winds of a stormy day, I stumbled upon a small collection of rare books that took me by surprise. The name came to me that day, and it seemed fittingly perfect.
