Store description
We are independent booksellers, photographers, and curators based in Vermont. Our bookstore operates within the Vermont Center for Photography (VCP), a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to the appreciation and understanding of photography and visual culture. Many of the books we list come from carefully assembled personal, donated, or institutional collections associated with photographers, artists, and collectors, and have been well cared for in studio, library, or archival environments. We take accuracy in descriptions seriously and aim to represent condition, edition, and any notable details as clearly and honestly as possible. All books are stored in a clean, smoke-free environment and packed securely for shipping. Orders are shipped promptly, and we communicate clearly if any questions arise. With a professional background in photography, exhibitions, and photographic history, we bring particular care to assessing and handling art and photography books—especially those that are out of print, collectible, or historically significant. Please feel free to reach out with any questions prior to purchase; we’re always happy to provide additional details or photographs when helpful. …
