Source Title The Antiquarian Book
Description

Our website is dedicated to holding online auctions of old, rare and precious books. We deal in a wide range of 16th-20th century antiquarian titles, specializing in rare first editions, fine bindings and illustrated books, as well as scarce books and documents about Africa, Asia and China.

Our goal today remains the same as it always has been: We make your library simply outstanding!

In addition to our auction sales, we also engage in consignment of old and rare books and manuscripts. If you have an item that you think falls into this category and that you would like to sell, you might consider offering us to do it on your behalf. We also provide the opportunity for you to let us know what kind of items, or what item in particular, you are interested in. We are also a regular seller on Biblio.com

We are located in Slovenia (European Union), in an idyllic Slovenian coastal town 5 miles from Trieste and 80 miles from Venice in Italy.
