About Us
read moreMotte & Bailey is actually a what, not a who. It is a type of medieval Norman castle, a wooden palisade rising on a mound of earth, found in many places in England, Wales, and Scotland. At Motte & Bailey Booksellers, we specialize in books concerning all the various aspects of history, so we chose a name that reflects our interest. Motte & Bailey, Booksellers began here in Ann Arbor, with UM librarian Gene Alloway discovering great books at local sales and selling exclusively on the web. By 2000, John Murphy II, Paul Hare and Gene had an opportunity to expand into a storefront.
