"Barry and his team are great! I've been collecting for 20 years. I felt it was time to trade up so I reached out to him. He invited me over and together we went over all my maps plus the maps I was interested in his shop. He gave me a fair deal for my maps and helped me pick (it was a hard decision because he has so many great maps) the next great map for my collection. Highly recommended!"

"I searched for quite a while for a specific map, regularly checking various dealers to see if it might become available. I finally found the item in Barry Lawrence Ruderman’s inventory and immediately purchased it. The map was shipped in very secure tubing—its beauty surpassed my expectations. Today, I called the office in LaJolla from my home in NYC in order to request assistance in tracking down another map that has been haunting my mind for some time. Hamilton could not have been more helpful and professional. He told me he would put out some feelers and get back to me later in the afternoon with an update. To my delight he called me at exactly 5:00pm with the news that he located the map through another dealer. All this to say the service, expertise, and inventory are all top notch at Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps, Inc. I look forward to future transactions with them."

"I have bought 3 maps from this place, worked with Cathy for two of them. Really a fantastic place good service, I don't doubt the authenticity at all since I had one of my first maps appraised by antiques dealer in Boston and I told him where I got it and he had heard of this establishment and the owner. So it seems they have good established reputation for selling authentic pieces. Really good place if looking for antique maps."

"Selling a map to Barry is straightforward and easy. He offered a very fair price and mailed payment quickly after verification of condition. Would deal with again if I need to sell or buy additional map from/for my collection"

"I am fairly new to map collecting and I am trying my best to learn the ins and outs. Barry is a relatively new contact for me but probably one of the best people I could have met in this field. At first i was intimidated to approach him (at a recent map show). After all he has one of the largest and most prestigious inventories in the market. He deals with some extremely rare material and is in the upper echelon as far as maps are concerned and as mentioned I am just a novice collector. Wanting to just give a quick "hello" my daughter and I went up to him. Not only was he super friendly, he really seemed to be interested in what I liked and how I got started in collecting. He recounted stories of his own beginnings and then went on to show my daughter and myself some wonderful examples of maps that he knew I was not going to buy but he just wanted to educate and share their beauty with us. I could not believe how approachable he was. Since that time I have had some dealings with him and he has been very accommodating in seeking out items I am looking for and finding affordable quality pieces for me to purchase. I really look forward to a long association with Barry Ruderman Antique Maps and would highly recommend that you visit his website or place a call even if you are just looking. You will not be disappointed with his inventory or quality of service."
