Welcome to our shop.

Main Street Fine Books & Manuscripts has been serving book lovers, collectors and institutions since 1990. Our inventory of quality out-of-print books spans 40 subjects, while the extensive autograph holdings have a decidedly historical bent (read “not contemporary”), reflecting personages from every field of human endeavor.

When you visit our open shop in beautiful Galena, you’ll enjoy browsing two floors in a friendly gallery setting. With 30,000+ titles and a vast array of autographs on display, you’re sure to find something that piques your interest.

You can see much of that same inventory right here, with a secure shopping cart at hand so you can buy with ease.

Enjoy your visit. We invite inquiries.

As elected members of these respected organizations, we adhere to a strict code of ethics whose bottom line is professional conduct in the marketplace. When you do business with ABAA or PADA dealers, you can buy with confidence.
