Sotheran’s | Rare Bookstore

Listique’s Recommendation

At Listique, we believe that the history of a business is important. This is especially true when it comes to sellers of rare and antiquarian books. We love Sotheran’s partly for its long and distinguished history, which stretches back over 250 years, making the booksellers older than many of the fine first editions and rare prints they stock. From the moment you enter, you are immediately surrounded by the creme de la creme of literature, giving it an air of gravitas few can match.
