Zoe Abrams Rare Books

I began my rare book career as a student worker in the Mortimer Rare Book Room at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Over the course of the following decade, I worked for multiple auction houses, libraries, and booksellers. In 2015, I left Ursus Books in New York City to spend a year abroad in Paris, where I founded my own book business specializing in social history, particularly women’s work. My inventory includes books and manuscripts from the 16^th-20^th century concerning cookery, domestic science, etiquette, fashion, and theater, among other subjects. I am especially interested in items with contemporary annotations or hybrid qualities that distinguish them as unique objects.

I am a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. I work from home in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, and exhibit every now and then at book fairs. Please check the events page for upcoming shows!
