Reviews
"Just like their rare, superlative & choice inventory, Manhattan Rare Books is a one-of-a-kind establishment, largely thanks to Michael who is among the most knowledgeable, generous, humble, gracious and congenial dealers of any field of collecting with whom I have ever had the pleasure of dealing. Michael clearly loves what he does and his enthusiasm, taste, and expertise makes the search & transaction for a treasure such a genuine pleasure. Highly recommended."
"MRB is remarkably professional knowledgeable in all fields. It's amazing how trustworthy they are--and the quality of their books is out of this world!! I feel like I'm at a museum."
"Michael DiRuggiero is a colleague of mine in the ABAA ( the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America , the preeminent organization in the United States for dealers in rare and antiquarian books.). I am writing this not as the biased review of a fellow colleague in the trade, but precisely because the highest respect of another dealer is a valuable endorsement. There are few people in the trade more passionate about the works they handle, more dedicated to their gorgeous presentation, or more eloquent in descriptions that accurately highlight historical and literary context and importance . Michael is a dealer with "an eye" for material- a quality I greatly admire - and underscores why he is a go-to source for many long-standing collectors."
"Rather than reading and examining a one of a kind handwritten book from early 1900s that spoke of many prominent people was signed hand drawn art, these people respond in 10 minutes with I goohled and didn't find anything on the auther.... DO NOT FORWARD BUSINESS TO MANHATTAN RARE BOOK Co in my humblest opinion. Not at all knowledgeable at all I can show messages to prove this. Yikes!"
"I am in love with books. I follow them closely and they always have great selection. Knowledgeable and honest in the rare book business."
