About
Business started in 1986. I apprenticed at Zeitlin & Ver Brugge Booksellers from 1978-1986. Jeff Weber Rare Books is largely a rare book & antiquarian bookstore. Mostly working by mail-order and by appointment. We buy collections and single better items. We buy on commission and we appraise books, manuscripts and archives. In 2020 I have moved to Montreux, Switzerland. This was my first open-store. Now the store, also open by appointment, is located at Place Pury 9, Neuchatel, Switzerland.Terms of Sale
Payment in advance with orders to new clients. Books may be returned within 10 days if found unsatisfactory. Typed letter or e-mail should confirm all phone-message orders. Libraries can remit on account.
