After over a decade of buying, selling and collecting, I have accumulated a collection of fine books and ephemera, art and decor, and library furnishings, and I have learned to recognize quality and value in great books. In addition, I have come to appreciate the importance of home as sanctuary and as a place to thrive. I started Librariana as a way to share and expand this appreciation. Our site is the culmination of a lifetime of intersecting interests and a dedication to using what I have learned to help others to improve their libraries and bookspaces. We also repair books to give them longer life, and help individuals and organizations looking to improve their libraries and bookspaces.
When not working in the bindery/print shop or reading great books, I am out searching for the best items to offer on this site. I hope you enjoy browsing and that you find something special to “improve your library”!
