Village Books

On the way back through Pennsylvania we stopped off in Milton to pay a visit to Randall Jessup at Village Books. He’s the antiquarian book dealer who sold me Arthur Denison’s Chandara journal several years ago.


It was fun to show Mr. Jessup the finished edition of Dinotopia: Journey to Chandara. He said he’s been both sorry and glad that he sold the original manuscript to me.

He opened the glass case behind the counter and I was tempted by a gorgeous 1870 edition of Lear’s Journal of a Landscape Painter in Corsica, but I couldn’t afford it. Although his books are a bit pricey, I recommend his establishment to any serious collector who likes rare editions, especially of travel and adventure classics and original manuscripts (link).
