Welcome

Cellar Stories has been buying and selling all types of books for over thirty years. We're the largest used and rare bookstore in the smallest state in the US. While we specialize in Rhode Island History, New England History, Art & Architecture, Modern First Editions, Poetry, and Mathematics, we have a stock of approximately 70,000 volumes covering all categories from vintage paperbacks, pulps and collectible ephemera to antiquarian volumes on many subjects.

Please call or email us if you are looking for items you do not find online.

 New stock is added daily, so if you're in the Providence area, be sure to stop in and browse!  We're conveniently located DownCity between the Convention Center and the Providence Performing Arts Center.

We were featured in January on C-SPAN's LCV tour of Providence! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXZv35-ZJ8
