Rare books and manuscripts |
30 West 57th Street (between Fifth and Sixth avenues) New York, NY 10019 +1 212 541 4860 http://www.bartfield.com/bks/about.htm |
This is not a paperback parlor, nor is it a bargain book basement. Volumes start at about $50 and rise geometrically to $1 million. At times Bartfields, with its delicate antique volumes, manuscripts and maps, will appear to be more of a museum or fine arts gallery than a bookstore. This image is not accidental. The customer is expected to be a serious collector or lover of the genre, if not an actual antiquarian. No one attempts to pull books out of the stacks on his own, but rather asks to have a specific book shown to her. Review © 2009, Wcities |
