Specialties: Art & Photography, Architecture, Children’s Illustrated, Science Fiction, Modern Firsts, Maurice Sendak Illustrated Books Additional Details: My background in the rare book field began not as a retailer, but as the fourth generation of book collectors in my family,” says Reed Orenstein, Proprietor. “However, perhaps more importantly, I was involved for many, many years in the family art business, The Park Avenue Gallery which was located on Park Avenue in Manhattan dealing with high end American and European works of art and illustrated books. As a result, I think it appropriate to say that I have been engaged in buying rare books and fine art for over 30 years now.” |
