Welcome to Payson Hall Books

We are an out-of-print, rare and antiquarian book business, with a medium sized stock. Our strengths are in the fields of books about Ireland and the Irish, America (especially New England), Architecture and Art but we also carry good books about nearly everything. We offer appraisal services to libraries and to individuals. We also provide a search service. Payson Hall Books is always eager to buy fine books, individually or as part of whole collections. We are open by appointment only.
