The 2026 sale will be held March 11-15 with online ticket sales (required for the first day only) beginning in early January. The location will be Stuart Country Day School in Princeton, NJ.

Most books are in excellent or perfect condition. Our volunteers carefully sort 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 of very high values will be priced accordingly.

EXCEPTIONAL VOLUMES IN THE 2026 SALE

Systema Naturae by Linnaeus, 11th Edition
Don’t miss acquiring an 11th edition copy of one of the most influential books of all time, Systema Naturae by Carl Linnaeus. In it, Linneaus laid out the system of genus and species as a basis of classifying all living organisms, still in use today.

The Observational Approach to Cosmology, signed by Dr. Edwin Hubble
Signatures by Dr. Edwin Hubble, for whom the Hubble Space Telescope is named, are considered very rare and desirable. The volume we will have on sale was a gift to Dr. Bernard Jaffe, a well-known chemistry teacher and author.

Pilgrimage to Mecca by Lady Evelyn Cobbold
Lady Evelyn Cobbold was a Scottish writer and noblewoman who grew up in Algiers and converted to Islam. She became the first British woman to attend the pilgrimage to Mecca. Her book is very collectible.
