    It smells like feet in here. Other than that, no complaints. The one staff member I interacted with was very nice.

    I do not actually hang out in this library. I use the online service and pick up the books under my last name. It is quick and easy.

    Beautiful Antique book store! They sell mostly first editions from all type of books and languages…read moreyou can think of. The value depends on the type of book and how old it is. The librarian there was very nice and told us if we needed any help to let her no. Highly recommend to anyone to take a visit and check it out!

    As a bibliophile I couldn't help but be drawn to this elegant book store on Worth Avenue, but this…read moreisn't just any book store. Raptis Rare Books specializes in rare, antique, and first edition books. As a young child, Matt Raptis had a deep love of history which led him into a future career of collecting and selling rare books. In 2016 Matt and Adrienne Raptis moved from Vermont to open their rare book business on Worth Avenue. In 2021 they moved to the gallery space they currently occupy on Worth Avenue next in Via Roma and in 2022, Raptis Rare Books purchased The Harcourt Bindery, the oldest and largest book bindery in the United States. The couple once purchased for $1 a signed first edition of "Catcher in the Rye" near author J.D. Salinger's home which they sold for $80,000. Other rare books that have been in their collection include an original 1859 copy of Charles Darwin "The Origin of Species" and an original printing of "The Cat in the Hat" inscribed by Dr. Seuss. Books in their collection have influenced generations and shaped history and culture. The books here are worth thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to selling individual books the couple will consult with rare book collectors to help them to build their libraries. In an increasingly digital age it is nice to see that books are still valued in our society.
