Rooted in Tradition

One of the dwindling shops of it’s kind, our business continues to be conducted much as Antiquarian and Rare Bookstores have operated since the beginning days of bookselling. Carefully organized shelves of thoughtfully culled books on every subject ready for browsing. Made for discovering that personal treasure, that book that you had as a child or something you read that changed your life. Or maybe just a great story for the beach or the couch. We offer both a wide variety of inexpensive general used books and a large stock of Rare, Antiquarian and collectible books. In addition, we also offer other carefully selected items of interest. Oddities if you will. Smaller items such as antique radios, typewriters and the like. Our inventory of uncommon treasures is ever changing as we discover new and ever more unusual and interesting items in our travels. All brought back to the shop and on display for your discovery.
