Private Libraries
Of course this service would exist! But I am still stunned to learn it does!

| Before we recommend the first title, we learn about you. |
 Books are the soul of your house, mirroring your interests and tastes. More than just a bookseller, Kinsey Marable & Co. assembles private libraries unique to each client. We place you at the center of your library and then fill the shelves around you.
The titles we recommend may be rare or collectible, or simply interesting and enjoyable and on a variety of subjects. Most of the collections resemble what one would find in a country house library: books on architecture, gardens, biography and social history, fashion and style, travel, sports, and food and drink—the pleasures of life. |
| Collecting |
| Let us assist you in building your private library. We can recommend acquisitions, investigate authenticity, find rare or out-of-print volumes, and help you understand the fair value of books before you purchase. |
| Cataloguing |
| We inventory, organize and arrange appraisals of your current library. |
| Conserving |
| Our conservation services ensure that your books remain in the best possible condition for years to come. We employ bookbinders that customize slip cases, folios and other leather goods. |
| Deaccessing |
| If you need to sell a substantial portion of your library, Kinsey Marable & Co. will purchase collections directly. |
| Furnishing |
| We can help provide the proper setting for you privately. Consulting with your architects and interior designers, we recommend cabinetry, furniture, lighting and ladders. |

Now that's a truly outre' form of luxury that I could easily buy into. Do you suppose they'd outfit a 12x12 pole barn for me??

What an incredible use of space. No home should be without one.
