Bauman Rare Books was first housed in the lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, then moved to Madison Avenue between 54th and 55th Streets in 2008. The shop has a constantly changing display of over four thousand books and documents in a wide range of subject areas, some dating from the fifteenth century. Bauman Rare Books’ headquarters is located in Philadelphia, and their newest store has opened in Las Vegas.
