It was opened originally by Vladimir Azar as a shop for the Russian emigre public of the Bay Area. A small press operated there in the 1970s under the same name in the same building. Now, 50+ years in business, the shop still occupies the same premises with continued success.

We issue monthly catalogues with the newest acquisitions available for our subscribers. We participate in many US and International antiquarian book fairs.
