Welcome to Great North Books,
your guide to the finest books and videos about the circumpolar North

    Whether you interests are in cruising or driving your RV to Alaska, exploring Eskimo or Saami culture, or learning about the exciting sport of mushing, there are publications that will meet your needs.

    While some of the books and videos featured here are stocked by Great North Books, the vast majority are not. We merely act as guides to where you can find quality material at the best prices. That includes books that have been out of print for decades as well as current ones.

    The navigation bar to the left will guide you to the most popular subjects, while some new material of note will be featured here on the home page.
