Yesterday's Muse Books is an independent bookseller, specializing in antiquarian and collectible titles. In operation for over 15 years, our first 'brick and mortar' shop opened in December 2008 in our hometown Webster, NY. Owner Jonathan Smalter is a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA), and former vice president of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (I

OBA), both of which are trade organizations created to promote ethical online selling practices, and to encourage continuing education among fellow booksellers. He is also a 2011 graduate of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS). With over 15 years of experience in the book trade, he has become adept at evaluating used and collectible books. If you have books to sell, please email [email protected] with some photos or call us at 585-265-9295. We offer book repairs, restoration, and conservation services, as well as appraisals for insurance purposes and book rental for events and productions. Please inquire for quotes.
