About

Our mission is like being matchmakers for books—except instead of setting up awkward blind dates, we're finding the perfect homes for rare books and manuscripts, connecting people to our shared past.

We've got a taste for the weird and wonderful, so you never know what you'll stumble upon on our website—maybe it's a murder pamphlet, a circus pitch card, or an early-modern work banning homosexuality.

Blog
