Maine Antiquarian Booksellers Association

Welcome to the Maine Antiquarian Booksellers Association Web site! The MABA was formed in 1977 with 28 members; we now have 80 members dealing in a wide range of used, rare and out-of-print books, maps, prints, autographs, bindings, photographs and ephemera. Shops range from a general stock of over 100,000 books to specialist stock of several hundred titles. We publish a printed directory* each year listing booksellers' locations, hours and description of stock and specialties, and we also list our members online (printable). To get a sense of where we are, take a look at a map of Maine showing our booksellers' locations. Use the accompanying search form to plan your antiquarian itinerary for your next trip -- real or virtual -- to Maine.
