Patrick Olson Rare Books

About

We specialize in printed books and ephemera from the hand-press period—those days when Western books were printed and bound entirely by hand. We take this period to begin with Gutenberg (ca. 1455) and end around 1830. Patrick has been working with rare books, in the trade and formerly as a librarian, since 2003. He established his own business in 2018.
