About MK Books
A small, owner-run bookseller in Mission, British Columbia, Canada.
MK Books is a sole proprietorship operated by Michael Kernaghan. The business grew out of a personal library of several hundred titles accumulated over many years — military history, classic cookery, and a steady trickle of older and unusual books. Rather than let those volumes sit in boxes, we are listing the best of them for other readers and collectors.
What we carry
- Military history — regimental histories, campaign studies, memoirs, and reference works, with a bias toward 19th- and 20th-century conflicts.
- Classic cookery — mid-century and earlier cookbooks, regional and international titles, and collectible food writing.
- Rare and miscellaneous — scarce editions, early printings, and older titles outside the two main categories.
How we work
Every book is inspected and described by hand before it is listed. We grade condition conservatively, flag known flaws, and pack for safe transit. We list exclusively through AbeBooks, which handles payment, provides the AbeBooks Buyer Guarantee, and sets shipping at checkout.
Storefront
Our AbeBooks storefront (ID 91160525) is launching shortly. Once it is live, our full inventory will be browsable at abebooks.com/servlet/StoreFrontDisplay?cid=91160525. Early inquiries are welcome at michael.kernaghan@gmail.com.
