A rare book is a unique gift which offers both the charms of an object of art and the richness of content.
We offer 3 different ways to give someone a rare book:
1). Choose it personally from our thematical lists. If you mention in your order that it is intended as a gift, we will send it to the address of your choice, gift-wrapped.
2). Need advice ? Just ask, and tell us the usual interests of the beneficiary of your gift and an estimate of your budget. We will send you a selection of items that could match your needs.
3). You prefer to let him (her) choose the book of his (her) dreams ? Give him (her) a gift certificate !

These purchase tickets allow virtually anybody to offer a rare book without having to choose it instead of the beneficiary. This is a simple code to fill in the apropriate field of our order forms, allowing their amount to be automatically withdrawed from the total of the order.
