More about this bookseller
We deal in antiquarian books, manuscripts, archives, prints, maps, ephemera, photos, artwork and collections.
Knowledgeable, professional, honest and trustworthy are critically important as are delivering results in all of our services.
Collecting. I have enjoyed collecting books and other antiquarian items for over 30 years. During that time I believe I have gained an unparalleled amount of knowledge. It is my love of antiquarian items, my desire to learn more, and my interest in assisting other collectors which ultimately influenced my decision to become a professional antiquarian seller.
Lord Durham Rare Books (LDRB) was established as a professional full-time business in February of 2008 - since then, my personal approach and energy have helped both private and institutional collectors both enhance their collections and locate tomes which have been long sought after.
The core foundation of LDRB is built on both my positive and negative experiences as a collector. Two decades of owning and running a highly successful Marketing and Promotional agency in Toronto, McLaren Marketing Inc., also helped foster an entrepreneurial spirit - a perfect fit for running an independent antiquarian business.
LDRB customers tell us they greatly appreciate and benefit from this approach and attitude. And we love doing it!
