About Us Peter Arnold Rare Books was established in Melbourne in 1969 and our shop is in the inner suburb of Prahran. We deal in fine and rare books of most descriptions, but with an emphasis on Australiana, as well as colonial prints and photographs, and early maps. We conduct occasional auctions, all of which have been very successful, realising totals of up to two million dollars. We are long-standing members of ANZAAB and ABA -- the Australian and the British antiquarian booksellers' associations.
