Welcome to Robert H. Rubin Books
dealers in antiquarian books in
ECONOMICS
LAW
AMERICANA
We sell principally through regular printed catalogues, special quotations, and annual bookfairs.
We will continue indefinitely to offer fine printed catalogues and special quotations to our loyal core customers and to others who may so request.
While we also offer material selectively on our web site, personalized direct service to our loyal clientele will remain our first priority.
We are the leading U.S. specialist in first and important fine editions of works by the major economic theorists, from the 16th century to the present, English, Continental, and by no means least, American.
Within this specialty we also offer important works in Economic History, Social History (through the 19th century), Social Thought (through the 20th century), and the History of Ideas.
LAW AND LEGAL HISTORY
POLITICAL THOUGHTWe offer a select stock of important antiquarian law, American, British, and Continental, from the 16th century to the early 20th century.
We specialize in historical and collectible material, and in fine legal scholarship.
We do not deal in practice sets or current treatises.
We offer materials--books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and some ephemera--mainly before 1900.
Emphasis is on the unusual and rare, and on the "American Scene--social and cultural," as well as traditional mainstream "Americana."
Robert H. Rubin Books was established in 1978. Altogether, I have been a bookseller devoted to these specialities for the past 28 years.
Robert H. Rubin Books is also an active purchaser of books in the above fields. I am particularly eager to learn of working libraries and collections in economics and law. I also buy regularly through catalogues and quotes.
Please visit our web pages for the following three catalogues:
Catalogue 250: ECONOMICS AND RELATED SUBJECTS
Catalogue 251: LAW AND LEGAL HISTORY
POLITICAL THOUGHT
Catalogue 252: AMERICANA
These three catalogues present a small but representative sample of our holdings. We have much more and are constantly acquiring new items. We invite your further inquiries--for a particular item or author--for special subject quotations--for our regular printed catalogues.
