Wise Men & Women can no longer fish at The Gotham Book Mart & Gallery. The building is up for sale, and its inventory sold at auction [though it remains intact]. The current Gotham BM&G has passed into history. All of Gotham's inventory is no longer available from AbeBooks.com.
In hopes of an unexpected re-appearance [a.k.a. denial], we will keep The Gotham Book Mart links and listings available. However, remember that orders will not be taken or processed.
Let's keep our fingers crossed...
The Gotham Book Mart & Gallery was The Definitive Source of Edward Gorey anything (except website). Proprietor Andreas Brown, Mr. Gorey's most prominent advocate, had devoted much of his energies promoting Mr. Gorey's literary career since the Sixties, and has had fingers in nearly every pie baked since. Buyers: This is where large collections are often sold, sometimes including original art. Scarce limited editions turn over quickly, so check in periodically. Be persistent. Click here to see Gotham's inventory of Gorey rarities and original art.
Sellers: Gotham buys individual rarities and large collections. For a quick fix either way, call

The ubiquitous eBay.
Click here for an up-to-the-minute search of available Gorey books and (mostly) ephemera awaiting the hammer on eBay. It's fun. It's energizing. It's addictive. Buyers: Beware. Bookstores can't equal the variety (Gotham excepted), but edition or condition claims should be taken with large grains of salt. Ask detailed questions before bidding. Consult our bibliography. On the brighter side, signed books, original art, etching, or lithograph editions will appear, so regular visits are a must. Sellers: Find the true market value for that Gorey book your aunt gave you years ago. Great for selling scarce items as they tend to go for a premium.
