Max Rambod Inc offers thousands of rare books, historical documents, letters, manuscripts, printed ephemera, and first editions in a variety of fields. These include Americana, Women's History, Military History, Science & Technology, Philosophy, African Americana, Literature, Art, and more.

For over 30 years, we have served a clientele of collectors, private institutions, universities, and public libraries in acquisition and collection development. We are members of ILAB, ABAA, and PADA, and have furnished collections around the world with rare and unique material; from the personal letters of literary greats to first edition Journals of Congress to unique pamphlets from the civil rights era. We strive to find archives and original early printed material that can fill gaps in existing institutional holdings; the kind of material that can bring new perspectives to the traditionally disregarded voices of indigiouneous peoples, women, and African-Americans.

We pride ourselves on the ability to track down the rarest and most interesting material for our client's collections. The partnerships we form with libraries, institutions, and personal collectors begin with a phone call or an email and last for decades. We offer an unconditional guarantee for each item's authenticity and completeness.
