Description:
Tucked away in an unassuming Sparks Street storefront is a gem for people who love antiquarian books and antique prints. Founded in 1969, this store sells everything from botanical prints and old maps to 19th-century landscape lithographs and World War II recruiting posters. For those with expensive tastes and modest budgets, reproductions are available. Check the store's extensive website before you visit to explore the inventory. And shop early: the store closes at 6 pm daily and is closed on Sundays. The gallery is located on the Sparks Street Mall, a popular pedestrian mall in the heart of downtown that has plenty of interesting souvenir shops and plenty of places to eat.
