Beautiful sets for interior decorators and bibliophiles alike

We have had some contact from local interior decorators looking for attractive books to buy to fill the needs of their clients.  We also notice that some of the books we have in the store are quite attractive and would be to any bibliophile.  Making them even more interesting is the fact that most stores don't carry many multi-volume sets and that we love the quality of antique publishers in lots of cases, thus I thought I would post some photos of books- some recently acquired and others we have had for years that I know someone out there wants.  The first photo is of some limp suede leather volumes with beautiful gilt on the spines, and then there are some sets that I'm sure will interest some of you.  Honestly we have approximately 20 other sets which might be of interest if you are looking for such attractively bound books, not to mention all of the single volumes in the store.  Please let us know if you would like more information and we hope to see you in person.

A wonderful review of the store written by an intrepid bibliophile

One of our new customers is apparently a blogger, and a good one at that from what I can tell.  Tiah came into the store a couple of weeks ago and wrote a very nice review of the store on her blog, which we are providing a link to here.  Please take a look for some photos taken by a customer and her thoughts on the store, which include the words "chaotic" and "higgeldy-piggeldy" but only in the nicest possible way.  Thanks for looking and I will be posting some photos of some books new acquisitions in the next couple of days.

Thank you very much for looking at our blog (Also, Dante's Infernos have sold)

We have had a recent rush of inquiries regarding one of our posts- the copies of Dante's Inferno from the mid-1800s.  While we wish we had a thousand copies of these books to sell, unfortunately they were sold within a month of acquiring them and we haven't seen any similar copies since.  We will certainly post photos of any copies we acquire in the future and we thank you very much for looking at our blog and website.  It appears as though traffic on the blog and site have picked up considerably as we went over a year without any inquiries regarding these books and now have had many in the last two weeks.  Thanks again for looking and we hope you will check back next time you are looking for rare/antiquarian/interesting materials.
