Wherever you are in the world, use your phone’s browser and simply type in: Rare Book Hub or rarebookhub. Whether you are a day tripper, or logging in as a paid member, you have plenty to see and do.

 

Our software will detect your operating system, your version, and screen size. You’ll then see our home page. Near to the top you’ll see Menu. Click on it. This gives you a road map to and through RBH.

 

 

In many cases, you may want to run searches. If so, click on Rare Book Transaction History. Use the Sequential Keyword Search and we’ll tell you how many records we have for that search. To become more specific, click on Advanced Search to add year published or other details. Again, we’ll tell you how many records we have.

  

If you want to see these records you’ll sign-in or sign-up for a subscription from 10 to 365 days.

 

If you are a paid services member log in. At the top, click Sign In. If not, click on Become a member. And you’ll be off to the races.

 

Whether free or paid, there are 19 links under Menu. You have articles to read, upcoming auctions to follow, and categories of collectible material that may appeal.
