YOUR BOOKSWe’d love to hear about your collection.
Whether you’ve been collecting for decades or just discovered a beautiful old book in a family attic, we want to hear your story. We work with passionate collectors, curious first-time sellers, and anyone who simply loves books and wants to know more about what they have.
Maybe you’ve inherited a library, started gathering first editions of your favorite author, or picked up something unusual at a flea market. We’d love to take a look—no pressure, no jargon, just honest, thoughtful guidance.
We buy individual books and entire collections. If you’re building a collection, we’d be glad to help you shape it. If you’re looking to downsize or let go of books you’ve loved, we’re active buyers.
If you're not sure whether your books are valuable, that’s okay. Please reach out, via the form or with a call to 646-960-6760.
