Justin G. Schiller Ltd. was established in 1959 as a proprietorship, incorporated ten years later and is the oldest antiquarian book firm in the United States continuously specializing in rare and collectible children's books in all languages and covering all time periods. Our prime criteria focuses on the development of juvenile literature world-wide and its related educational movements and progress through all time periods, but we also extend into other subjects of overlapping interest — often the unusual rather than what may be expected. We issue catalogues on an infrequent basis, seldom exhibit at book fairs but work regularly to assist clients in many countries with collection development, agent representation at auctions, and appraisal services.

All items offered for sale are warranted authentic as described by us, under the guidelines of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. Books have been carefully collated as to their completeness and bibliographical accuracy, and original drawings and manuscripts are guaranteed to be genuine as detailed.

Prices quoted are in US Dollars and title of ownership transfers only upon the receipt and clearance of full payment. Libraries and institutions will be invoiced; deferred billing upon request to responsible clientele. Residents of New York State and New Jersey are required to add applicable Sales Tax or Use Tax unless otherwise exempted (appropriate forms need to be on file).

Our shop is open by appointment weekdays Monday thru Friday, 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, though prior arrangements should be made to assure items in our inventory from catalogues are still available and that we have from our storage warehouse that which may be of particular interest. We look forward to your visit.
