I purchase rare and antiquarian books, historical autographs and documents, letters, manuscripts, diaries, personal and business correspondence, company archives, etc.


I will buy a single rare book or or an entire library. For large and/or significant collections, I can make travel arrangements.

Please tell me what you wish to offer and I will seek a match with the collecting needs of my clients.

Kindly provide the following information so I may determine if your material is suitable for a purchase offer. ¹  ²


¹  Purchase offers are made when I have been able to physically examine your books or manuscript material.  Please do not send me your books or material  for consideration unless requested directly by me  to do so.

²  I do not offer appraisals.  Purchase offers made for your books or material are based upon current market conditions, such as availability, desirability and recent buying and selling trends.  My purchase offers are not appraisals.  My purchase offers are not to be considered retail estimates of value.
