About Peter L. Masi - books
We have been selling antiquarian books and ephemera for40 years, beginning in Philadelphia, now from Montague, Massachusetts. We work with many institutions to develop collections, issue catalogs published in print and electronically and posted to our wordpress website. We have a large stock of antiquarian and used books and pamphlets online. We exhibit at a handful of fairs annually. Most of our material is American, more non-fiction than fiction, with some emphasis on material culture (agriculture, architecture, cooking, decorative and fine arts, engineering, printing, textiles), business, educational, social and religious history. We offer many early American children's books and trade catalogs.
