About Philadelphia Rare Books
This was an antiquarian rare bookseller. Founded in 1984, the Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts Co. sold rare books and expanded its range through SessaBks, established in 2001. The firm also conducted appraisals, including IRS-qualified appraisals, and welcomed visitors by appointment at The Arsenal from 2006 to 2021. Its bookselling and appraisal work drew on decades of experience serving clients. The company entirely ceased operations in 2024, so it no longer offers these services.
