Stamps, coins, hockey
cards, Barbie Dolls and even butterflies; each represents a field of
collecting with a huge following. But what and why do people collect?
Collecting is more than what interests us; collecting is also a
reflection of when and where. After all, we can only collect in the
present moment. And we can only collect what is currently available.
Granted,
no one collector can know everything about their field of interest.
But an experienced book dealer can certainly help you expand your
knowledge base and point you in the right direction…or take the reins
and help you track down the item in question.
Since
2008, Lord Durham Rare Books, Inc. (LDRB) has been full-time in the business of
helping book collectors solve their collecting challenges. Whether
it’s elusive Books, Prints, Maps, Ephemera, Manuscripts, or Photos,
LDRB has been helping institutions and private collectors alike fill
the missing gaps in their collections.
This makes the art of
collecting and the ‘thrill of the hunt’ that much more challenging and
rewarding. At the same time, it can also be frustrating because the
hunt can be restricted by what we don’t know…just as much as by what we do know.
At
LDRB, we do more than “just sell books”. As a full stop antiquarian
dealer, our objective is to help you build a great collection. We help
collectors collect – no matter what.
In
serving our clients, we will represent you at auctions, perform
evaluations and appraisals, research your field of interest, and issue
catalogues.
Unlike
some, we also remember what it’s like to collect and to know that the
timing isn’t always perfect. That’s why we’re more than happy to offer
delayed payment terms, and even make trades. We promise our items and service will exceed your expectations.
Whether
you’re a seasoned Hemingway collector who drank mojitos with Papa in
Cuba or you’re just starting your early Canadian collection, I invite
you to contact us and see how we can help you build or enhance your
collection.
We can help you get started or help you find something you are looking for. You never know, we might already have it!
Areas of Speciality - 19th century focus - Canadiana, Military, Women, Black History and Americana.
