The Archives Book Shop is an oasis in time, with material from the 18th Century to the 21st Century, located a few blocks from picturesque Michigan State University with a coffee shop (and waterfall) connecting. We specialize in both modern and old-and-rare items for the collector and pleasure reader, as well as the scholar, with over 25,000 volumes and 40,000 vintage postcards: leather bindings, hardcovers and paperbacks, books that have been read, loved and make the heart sing; wonderful-to-hold-in-your-hand volumes. On any day, you may find signed documents, a letter from W. H. Auden, a leatherbound first edition of Johnson's Tour, a Faulkner paperback, vintage catalogs and automotive ephemera, etchings, atlases, bookends, original bookcover paintings, or real-photo postcards and photographs. We will send email JPG file color images of any item upon request.
