Welcome to a (preliminary) Antiquarian Bookseller Wiki

Established 15 August 2020 by Garrett Scott.

Initially conceived as a venue for parking information about antiquarian booksellers prior to having sufficient documentation to create documented Wikipedia entries.

One project I am parking here for my own purposes (at least for now) is a series of biographies of women in the antiquarian book trade. This grows out of a series of discussions on the email Discuss list for booksellers in the ABAA, which often prompt reminiscences by booksellers of colleagues. This will attempt in part to collect these recollections and biographical information. I have been drawing primarily from the American book trade and including booksellers who have died.

Update 31 March 2026: The ABAA updated its website in late 2025 and thus the links to archived ABAA newsletters were all broken. I will be slowly tracking those down in odd spare moments.
