German bookseller Antiquariat Banzhaf features architecture and art.

Rare Americana is offered by Kaaterskill Books and David Lesser Fine Antiquarian Books. Joe Rubinfine features signed historical documents from the era of the American Revolution. Old West Books presents Western Americana, while the William Reese Company looks at Latin Americana.
