Review of The First Edition Rare Books (By Appointment) by Chris Shipe · February 5, 2026
Found a real gem here today. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and helped me track down a first edition I have been hunting for years. The condition is pristine.

I was excited for my visit but felt pushed toward a specific item that seemed overpriced for its condition. The experience felt much more commercial than expected.

The shop is lovely and the books are museum quality. Only took a star off because the appointment scheduling can be a little tricky to manage online.

Had a fantastic visit. They really care about the provenance of every item. Walked away with a beautiful leather-bound set that looks stunning on my library shelf.

Such a high level of care here. They wrapped my purchase so securely for transport. It is refreshing to deal with true professionals who love literature.
