Welcome to Black?s Fine Books & Manuscripts: Specialists in Rare and Out-of-Print Books, Manuscripts, and Archival Collections.
We are a rare book firm specializing in retrospective publications with notable strengths in Antiquarian Books, Archives, Canadiana, Culinary History, Fine Bindings, Indigenous Studies, Modern Literature, Socialism, Slavic Studies, and much more. With over a decade-and-a-half of experience serving institutional and private clients alike, we are pleased to offer an eclectic, ever-changing, selection of over 25,000 scarce and unique titles ranging from antiquity to the present day, of which only a small selection has been made available. We actively buy-and-sell rare and out-of-print books, manuscripts, printed ephemera, personal and institutional archival collections, and other rare and unusual materials ? in Canada, the United States, and Europe. When feasible, we will travel to examine collections of interest, particularly in areas of our specialization.
Our practise is actively engaged in the positive disposition of literary and institutional archives, and we conduct monetary evaluations of select individual items, and collections for universities, museums, and private clients.
Curated lists periodically issued. To keep abreast of our latest acquisitions, please consider joining our mailing list by emailing us at mail@blacksbooks.ca.

Shipping Terms:
Orders are retrieved, and shipped within 3-5 business days. A confirmation e-mail with tracking information, should one be issued, will follow shortly thereafter. You may check the status of your order at any time by logging into your account.
All books are packed carefully, usually swathed in bubble-wrap, which is then set into a custom cardboard container.
Our postage and packing charges depend upon three factors:
(1) the destination of the shipment;
(2) the size, weight and fragility of the item to be shipped;
(3) the speed of delivery (i.e. parcel post, air mail, expedited service, courier etc.).
Generally, the postage and packing charge for a standard sized (octavo) book sent to a major Canadian city will be about $19.00 in Canadian funds (plus GST). Shipping to a smaller centre, or remote area, will cost more. These rates are set by Canada Post. Sending a standard-sized (octavo) book to an American destination presently costs $15.99 in US funds. Generally, overseas shipments will cost $25.00 US for the first, standard sized, book. We will quote shipping charges in advance if you forward us your mailing address and indicate how the item is to be shipped (i.e. Surface Mail, Air Mail, etc.).
We are also pleased to offer shipment by Priority Mail, or Global Priority, for a modest additional charge.
For items that are oversized or require special treatment, shipping and insurance will be calculated at cost; high-value shipments must be insured or the purchaser assumes all liability for loss or damage.
International buyers are responsible for any customs, taxes, and related import fees. Please note that we are unable to accommodate requests to misrepresent, misdeclare, or otherwise falsify customs documents when shipping internationally.
