SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
Thank you to all who attended the 2025 sale. Look for information on the 2026 sale starting in November, 2025 with online ticket sales beginning in early January. Once again, the location will be Stuart Country Day School in Princeton, NJ.
Most books are in excellent or perfect condition. Our volunteers carefully sort the donated books we receive each year, keeping only the best 60,000 or so. We receive valuable books from scholars and celebrities, university departments (including Princeton and Rutgers), and the estates of ardent book collectors. The sale attracts collectors and dealers from Indiana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Maine, Ohio, and beyond. It is worth the trip!
Prices for 2026:
Collectible and rare books in our Collectors Corner room are generally offered at a percentage of a book’s average online value at the time we price it. Books worth up to $100 are sold at 25% of their market values while books over $100 are marked at 30%. Books of very high values will be priced accordingly.
