andsome Books specializes in books with decorative publishers’ bindings, designed and illustrated by some of the leading artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries. These beautiful books showcase the artistic styles of the day, from the Victorian period through the Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco movements. Decorative book bindings are one of the least-known areas of the graphic arts, and one of the most rewarding to explore.

We stock books in all fields, including classic and children's literature, poetry, travel and exploration, natural history, gardening, sports, romance— even pulp fiction. If you are seeking an addition to your own collection, or a gift for that sophisticated someone, we can suggest a book that will delight and amaze.
