Ancient Books Dealer
Our main activity is buying and selling books, but we also do expertises, evaluations on single books or whole libraries, estimates and we guarantee our clients the greatest professionalism and confidentiality. We’re members of ALAI (Associazione Librai Antiquari Italia www.alai.it ), counting 100 members in Italy; this organization regroups and represents the best Italian ancient books dealers, promoting the culture of ancient books.
Periodically our Bookstore does a patient work of research and cataloguing and publishes paper catalogues for the sale of ancient books. They’re given for free to those who ask for them.
We always welcome clients, friends and books lovers, but only by appointment.
