W. C. Baker Rare Books specializes in rare printed and manuscript materials in Americana, the avant garde, and unusual currents in science, religion, and the performing arts. We actively buy rare books, manuscripts, documents, prints, photographs, and ephemera in our areas of interest and are available for visits to homes and institutions in the New York City area and beyond.
In addition to buying and selling, we serve as rare book appraisers and consultants to both institutions and private collectors. Will Baker is an IRS-qualified appraiser, compliant with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) through August 24, 2023.
