Private Librarian, out-of-print and rare book dealer, Africanist, jazz fan, family man, natty dresser and Harlem's antiquarian. In 2005 I opened Jumel Terrace Books. The out-of-print and rare shop specializes in local history: African and American.
The Private Library is now in its 28th year providing services to Bibliophiles: cataloguing, bibliography, appraisals, archival services, organization, moving, book searches and research. We specialize in made-to-order and custom made libraries on all subjects.
