Our SessaBks division - named after our old original shopcat Sessa - offers the good used, the "medium rare," the material "later or lesser" than PRB&M's usual rare, antiquarian offerings. On our shop's enclosed porches and "in the back" you'll find Sessa's Americana, History and Literature, Religion and Bibles, Greek and Latin Classics, Biography and Criticism, Travel and "Places," Art and Architecture, and lots of Varia; prices tend to be low and there is intermittently much that will never be online.

Store Hours

With PRB&M, Open House most Saturdays (please confirm in advance!); other times by appointment.
