About Patrick Olson Rare Books
We specialize in books from the hand-press period -- those days when Western books were printed and bound entirely by hand. While open to debate, we take this period to begin with Gutenberg (ca. 1454) and end around 1830. We offer a rotating selection of books that we hope you find interesting, important, or otherwise worthy of your consideration.
