Great collection of rare and leather bound books. Family owned for years.

Today I spoke on the phone with a lady at the shop, as I was looking for a copy of Joyces Portrait of the Artist. . . printed between 1917 and 1928. Firstly, I asked if the store sold 20th cent. books; from the page on Google maps I could only see finely bound sets. Different collectors tend to carry different eras, many falling into the more antique selection rather than contemporary vintage. The lady on the line quite brusquely remarked that it IS in fact a vintage bookstore. Jeez, I was just asking so I would waste your time if that wasnt your specialty.The part that truly rubbed me the wrong way was when she asked how much I wanted to spend, and I stated under 500 dollars. I was met with a rude, you wont find anything in that price range. This is entirely incorrect. She ended the call swiftly after that.I was NOT looking for a 1916 impression, which often retail in the 5 to 6 digit ballpark. I did make sure to mention that I was looking for an early printing, but not the first. A quick Google search reveals a multitude of offerings between 100 and 300 dollars. I actually stated more than the typical price because I am searching for a particularly well-maintained copy. Listen- I know my books and I know what a sensible price is. No bookseller of quality should shame someone for price range while apparently having no clue of what things should cost anyway.

Amazing selection of books! Owner and associates were very friendly and helpful. So happy with my purchases, will definitely return soon! Thank you Bibi and Selina
