Rara Avis Antique Book Shop
the very first Polish antiquarian bookseller in the web
We are the very first Polish antiquarian bookseller in the web.
In our activities we focus on buying and selling antique books (published before 1945), maps, prints, posters and photographs. We organize Antique Books Auctions three times a year. We are interested especially in Polish Avant-garde editions.
