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. I have also opened my first open bookstore here. The store is located behind the Palace Hotel.
