About

Raptis Rare Books is an antiquarian book firm that specializes in fine first editions, signed and inscribed books, and landmark books in all fields. Our business model is simple: we strive to handle books that are in exceptional condition and to provide exceptional customer service.

The proprietor, Matthew Raptis, has been around books his entire life, with his first rare book purchase at the age of eight.

We are proud members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) and exhibit at major book fairs in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston, as well as other regional fairs.

We operate out of a historic Italianate villa in southern Vermont that welcomes visitors by appointment.
