Welcome to our newest location: Bauman Rare Books Las Vegas. We opened the doors to our new gallery in the Shoppes at the Palazzo in February 2008. Similar to our Madison Avenue store in design, inventory and exceptional customer service, our Las Vegas gallery provides the additional feature of being open over twelve hours a day seven days a week. We invite you to visit our new gallery, where you will find an extraordinary selection of rare first editions and autograph documents dating from the 15th through the 20th centuries. Landmarks in American history, literary classics, beloved children’s books, revolutionary scientific and medical works, monumental accounts of travel and exploration—the most significant works printed throughout history in every discipline and in every age.
