B & B Rare Books, Ltd

The congregation of rare‐book shops around Madison Avenue feels like a quietly enduring niche. B & B Rare Books, Ltd sits on the fifth floor of 165 Madison Avenue, inside a lobby that’s easy to miss unless you’re scanning the directory. It’s the kind of place where the next reader might unlock an 1872 first edition while you flip through a crisp 1923 first impression of Joyce. Any serious collector who wants to size up used inventory before committing will find space to page through without pressure, and if a title doesn’t fit the shelf at home it can usually be resold here the same afternoon. Reach out by phone and you’re talking directly to the small team actively buying up out-of-circulation titles and parting with duplicates they no longer need themselves. The number to call is (646) 652-6766. To find the easiest route, follow the directions on the map linked above: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2599f9b577cbd:0x8d02a238bfe7e2c.
