Are old books valuable?

February 26, 2020 By Dan Danbom

Are old books valuable? Some are, but most old books that we see are just old and nothing more. And therein lies the greatest misconception about used books -- that simply by being old, books have gained value. It's a common thing for folks to think otherwise, maybe because "antiquarian" and "antique" sound like … [Read more...]

I happened upon this bookstore as I walked down Broadway one beautiful summer day. Discovering the Printed Page Bookshop was the best part of that day's journey. I now make it a point to visit as often as I can. The selection is vast and the owners are exceptionally kind, thoughtful and helpful. I always walk out with some sort of treasure.

Here are a few photos I have taken. I most sincerely cannot recommend this bookstore enough. Stop in the next time you are in the area. You will be glad you did.

Printed Page Bookshop is a rare gem. When you walk into the quaint shop you are greeted not only by the bountiful shelves, but the shop pup named Izzy. I was impressed by the amount of leather bound books that the shop had. I could tell the owner was well versed in book collecting and a true antiquarian when his collection didn’t stop at just one shelf or case. There were many shelves and glass cases that contained the most rare books. Some were even still in the shrink wrap. In addition to the rare books that were there, I was able to find books that are popular to the public now and also the cannon classics. Another fun feature of this shop is they have a newsletter. I was fortunate enough to snag a snippet of a past one and it has many treasures inside. There are stories and articles about anything and everything book related. I was able to learn things that I otherwise would never have known. Overall I was very satisfied with this shop and its variety of books. I am always looking for bookstore to call my own and I can confidently say I will be visiting this shop again.

There seem to be two kinds of used bookstores. There are the messy, crowded shops, overflowing with books and magazines of all shapes and sizes, often too many to count. And there are the neat-as-a-pin shops, with all the books organized and carefully placed and nearly uniform. The Printed Page is mostly a bookshop of the neat and orderly kind, but there are a few touches here and there of an opposite sensibility.

That perhaps should be expected, as the Printed Page is actually a joint operation between fifteen or so booksellers. It is a small shop, housed in a converted home, and the shelves are snug. It's quiet and cozy. There are books you'd expect (folio editions, military history, thrillers, poetry, mainstream hardcover fiction) but there are surprises, too, such as the odd Big Little Books under the front counter and the original art throughout the store.

Their motto is "Cool Books, Warm People." I was certainly given a pleasant welcome when I shopped there. I was actually determined not to spend a lot of money, and I didn't... but I did come away with a number of prized books that I had been after for some time.
