They have been producing luxurious volumes of lasting meaning, beauty and importance for over three decades, publishing a number of book series including The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written, which had another 25 books added to its series at a later date.

Modern leather-bound books make marvelous gifts and we have more experience than anyone in assisting our clients with selection and sourcing; from a single book to a curated collection of thousands. These books are collectibles that appreciate in value over time, and we have years of experience in evaluating and appraising these volumes. If you’re ever curious about the worth of a certain rare leather book, we would be happy to advise on our appraised value.

“Do you ever buy used leather books?”

We are asked this question a lot, and the simple answer is yes, the more complicated answer is “Yes, if…”

Among our many specialties, Juniper Books buys and sells leather-bound books from publishers like Franklin Library and Easton Press. We buy and sell nearly all of these beautiful leather-bound volumes privately, so it is best to communicate with us directly about selling your collection or buying these books from us. We are almost always on the hunt for complete or nearly complete collections of the Franklin 100 and Easton Press’ “Greatest Books Ever Written” and keep wish lists for customers who are after certain volumes, and we are always on the hunt for at least a few titles.

Many of our clients love the look of these books and are open to having gently used copies. It’s important to us that each book passes a quality test by our team.

If you have leather books you are hoping to sell, please contact bookbuyer@juniperbooks.com for more information about our process and quality standards.
