Store description
Rare Collections formed as a celebration of passion. A passion for the printed word, for history, for rare finds and new discoveries. We specializes in collectible items with a focus on rare books and prints. We have a particularly strong range of modern first editions; signed books; speculative fiction and Livre d’Artiste books, as well as original prints and maps. PLEASE NOTE: Our Abebooks profile is listed via my Australian Business. However the book store is not based in Melbourne. **We are based in Cape Town, South Africa.** This is due to payment issues on Abebooks side for South African banks. This was a solution Abebooks and we came up with together to bypass the Payment gateway issue for right now. All our other selling platforms correctly displays our place of origin as Cape Town, South Africa. ****A Note on USA Tariffs**** Books and prints are exempt from the 2025 US tariff measures (printed and informational materials are protected under IEEPA exemptions.) Orders to the United States continue to be unaffected, and we are couriering as normal. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.…
