About Thompson Rare Books - ABAC / ILAB
Thompson Rare Books specializes in fine, rare and interesting books in many fields. Our specialties include literary first editions, fantasy, mythology and folklore, detective fiction and mysteries, illustrated books, childrens books, and fine printing and bindings. A Note to our US Customers: US customers are probably aware of the new tariffs implemented by the Trump administration on imports to America. We are in Canada, and Canada Post service to the USA is uninterrupted. We have been informed that books are exempt from these tariffs, although there is now a small processing fee payable by us to ensure that our shipments are all Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). This means that parcels should pass through US customs without any further charges being levied. Our prices to our customers will remain unchanged.
