Rare Book Services
The Rare Book Sleuth works with collectors, institutions, and families on rare and antiquarian book matters, including purchase inquiries, collection development, consignment, and searches for difficult-to-find books.
Purchase
We are actively purchasing fine books, from individual volumes to entire collections. If you have rare books, first editions, signed books, association copies, archives, or a notable collection you are interested in selling, please visit our Sell to Us page and include clear photos and relevant details.
Curate
We offer private collection development, research, organization, and display guidance for collectors building thoughtful rare book collections.
Sleuth
Whether you are trying to track down a specific edition, build a focused collection, or find a distinctive gift, we can help search for difficult-to-find books.
Please note: formal written appraisals are separate from purchase inquiries. For ethical reasons, we cannot purchase books for which we have provided a formal appraisal.
