Lorne Bair Rare Books
History of Science
Featured Items & New Arrivals
  We stock hundreds of quality titles in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology, including transportation, communications, early computing, and linguistics.

Because we approach these subjects primarily from a History of Ideas standpoint, our inventory includes modern historical monographs as well as high spots in the development of various scientific and technological disciplines. We're particularly interested in the development of American science and medicine in the 19th century, and our inventory includes many items in this area.

We can never catalogue fast enough to keep up with new acquisitions, so keep an eye on this New Arrivals page, which is updated regularly. If you are looking for a particular title, or collect books in particular subject areas, please don't hesitate to contact us–we pay prompt attention to customers' want lists, and are happy to assist in collection building.
