Raptis Rare Books

Matthew Raptis is the author of Provenance, with a foreword by Nicolas Basbanes - an essential exploration of books, collecting, and the stories that shape great libraries. Founded by Matthew and Adrienne Raptis, Raptis Rare Books is an internationally recognized antiquarian book firm, known for building some of the world’s finest private and institutional libraries. We specialize in literature, children’s books, economics, photography, signed and inscribed works, and landmark books across all fields. Our open gallery is located at 329 Worth Avenue, Palm Beach, Florida. Our philosophy is straightforward: we handle books of exceptional quality and provide an equally exceptional level of customer service. In 2022, we acquired The Harcourt Bindery, reaffirming our long-standing commitment to the preservation of books and the traditions of fine craftsmanship. Founded in 1900, Harcourt is the oldest and largest bindery in the United States devoted exclusively to hand bookbinding.
