More about this bookseller
Our mission is to find the best possible home for rare and unique books, ephemera and manuscripts from the last five centuries so that they can continue to inspire people and connect them to our shared past.
The topics covered include Astrology & occult, Coloured plate books, Ephemera, Judaica, Literature, Medicine & Natural History, Science & Technology, and Travel & Exploration. We have a penchant for the weird and wonderful, so on our website you will regularly find oddities such as diatribes against prostitution, murder pamphlets, circus pitch cards, rare broadsides, early-modern works banning homosexuality, etc.
Black Dog Rare Books was founded in Amersfoort, The Netherlands, in December 2018 by Steven de Joode. Steven holds a BA (Hons.) in German and an MA (Hons.) in Book and Manuscript Studies from the University of Amsterdam. He has worked as a bibliographer at the National Library of the Netherlands and as a cataloguer and dealer at Antiquariaat Forum, giving him a wealth of experience in the rare book industry. He is a member of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA).
Steven is joined in running the company by his partner, Chantal Germaine Haak, who has a background in psychology and previous experience as a broker. She brings a blend of business savvy and a curious mind to the company, along with a keen eye for the unusual.
Our clients include libraries, museums, private collectors, and fellow members of the trade. We regularly send out newsletters to keep our subscribers up to date about new arrivals.
