About us

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. 

I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University.

I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.

    Slow shipping (especially for the cost) and over packaged (very difficult to open because of all of the tape1) but item essentially as described. Item description does not match the "good" condition definition, however.....an item in "good" condition does not have missing pages, etc.

    I use Media Mail to ship all of my items, as I state in my seller description. This particular item was $12, the buyer offered me $9, and I accepted, giving them 25% off the item. This buyer lives in the rural northern Midwest, I live in New York, and the item was delivered within six days. I explicitly stated the item was missing two pages in the item description before qualifying the item as good to fair: "Pages 7 and 8 missing. Text clean. Good to Fair."
