Second-Hand Books in First Rate Shape

by BryanMiller_Citysearch

If you like rare-volume books, oversized historical maps and such this place is worth seeking out. There are books as early as the 16th century; history buffs will be in heaven, too. The knowledgeable staff is happy to dig out anything you ask for.

It' hard to say much about prices for these gems.
