ABAA BOOKSELLERS

ABAA membership is a privilege extended only to those booksellers who have demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, ethics, and expertise in the trade. Our more than four hundred members hail from an impressively diverse array of backgrounds. Some have spent their entire careers in the book business, while others have been lighthouse keepers, poets, helicopter pilots, and professional musicians. Some members own brick-and-mortar shops, some operate internet-only businesses from their home or office, some fashion livelihoods from exhibiting at book fairs. Many combine these retail strategies, or add services such as appraising and collection development. A few earn additional income and professional prestige from research and writing. But all our members share an appreciation for the printed page and for the scholarly and ethical practices which exemplify professional bookselling. ...

Margolis & Moss

David Margolis completed his BFA at the Pratt Institute and MFA at the University of Pennsylvania before working as a full time cataloguer for Swann Galleries in the 1970s. In 1979, he partnered with his wife Jean Moss and opened an antiquarian bookshop, Margolis & Moss, in Santa Fe, NM. Jean's background in English literature and interest in theatre complemented David's focus on the visual arts, and the pair opened a general antiquarian store focusing on these areas of expertise. Margolis & Moss continues to operate out of Santa Fe, NM and specializes in Fine Books, Prints, Maps, Ephemera, Nineteenth Century Photography, Mexico and Latin America. ABAA Member since 1985.
