We Buy Books

While we are primarily in the business of selling books, the only way we can keep doing that is by buying them too. If you have something you're looking to sell — whether it's a single book or an entire collection — please reach out. I'd love to take a look.

My focus tends to lean toward antiquarian and occult material, but that is far from the only thing I buy. If you're not sure whether what you have is something I'd be interested in, just get in touch. I'm always happy to hear what you've got.

I am especially active buying in:

Grimoires and books of magic

Witchcraft and demonology

Alchemy and early chemical philosophy

Astrology and astronomical texts

Hermetic, Rosicrucian, and esoteric philosophy

Freemasonry and secret societies

Occult manuscripts and handwritten material

Exploration and expedition narratives

Early religion and theology

History and natural science

Printed books of any subject from the 16th through 19th centuries

I can set up meetings by phone, email, video call, or in person. I work with individual sellers, estates, inherited collections, and private libraries. Outright purchase is usually the simplest route, but I'm open to consignment on select pieces as well.
