John Waite Rare Books is a home-based business located in an 1840s Vermont farmhouse. I’ve been self-employed since 1995 when I returned to Vermont from New York where I worked in the rare book trade. Since 1999 I’ve been a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America, the leading trade organization for rare books, autographs, and ephemera in the United States.
I maintain a small stock of books, printed ephemera, graphics and autograph material. I publish occasional lists and catalogs. I do not list my material with any internet vendor, nor do I have a dedicated web site. Instead I have this blog, which is partly about bookselling and partly about all the other stuff that interests me. Hopefully, some of it will interest you too.
Orders can be placed by email or by phone. Reciprocal trade courtesies apply. Any item may be returned for any reason within ten days of receipt. Clients unknown to us are requested to send payment with order. Payment must be made either by Paypal or check drawn on a US bank in US funds.
Vermont residents please add six percent sales tax. Shipping charges are additional. Shipping by FedEx, UPS, or USPS priority or media mail, as customer requests.
Goods legally remain the property of the seller until the price has been paid in full.
As always, we seek fine books, manuscripts, and many kinds of printed ephemera either for purchase or for consignment. We also do book and manuscript appraisals for gift and estate purposes, and for insurance.
I welcome your questions and comments.
