Welcome to our Web site! We specialize in materials for design/building professionals and in "things German".Bookstore News Happy Spring! Even though we didn't get our usual amount of snowfall this year, it's nice to have winter behind us! We've recently purchased a couple of libraries that include many great books that are sure to be of interest. We'll be adding those new titles to our inventory over the coming weeks, so be sure to check back for the latest additions. We're also continuing to catalog books from the Old House Journal/Old House Interiors Reference Library collection--an ongoing project here at the shop. If you're looking for a specific book, please search our online catalog in the side-bar to find titles from our complete collection. We just got back from two excellent shows in March, the Greater Philadelphia Historic Home Show and Designer Craftsmen Show and the bi-annual New Hampshire Old House and Barn Expo. Both were wonderful events, and we had a great time meeting new customers and old friends alike. Welcome to our new subscribers and customers from those shows!We also sold books last month at Boston's Algonquin Club for a lecture by British architectural historian Dr. David Watkin, sponsored by the New England chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. Dr. Watkin is a prominent proponent of classical architecture and its principles. His lecture, "The Classical Language, Past and Present", was well-attended, and we enjoyed our evening with Dr. Watkin, the ICAA, and their guests. Featured Author of the Month - Photographer David Plowden  We're pleased to showcase several books by documentary photographer David Plowden in our Gallery and in this month's e-Newsletter. Throughout his 50+ year career, Plowden has focused on capturing the vanishing industrial and agricultural landscape of America, particularly the endangered pieces of our architectural heritage that are being lost to modern development and urban sprawl. His black and white photographs provide powerful and often stirring glimpses into the remains of 19th and early 20th century America: steamships and steel mills, barns and factories, and the people who make their living in heavy industry and on the farm. Plowden's work is included in the permanent collections of many art museums, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress. We're excited to introduce the work of this remarkable photographer to our customers. We have copies of numerous Plowden titles from the past 50 years in stock--search our Web site to find more of Plowden's work in our inventory.  Keep in Touch With Us!

Old House Journal/Old House Interiors Reference Library Collection Steven Schuyler Bookseller is proud to be the owner of the entire reference library of the famed period home restoration magazine Old House Journal and its sister publication, Old House Interiors. The collection, which starts off with a copy of "Palladio Londoniensis: or the Art of London Building" from 1734, runs through to the latest publications from 2009. Clem Labine, the magazine's originator, and his successor Patricia Poore generally bought visually interesting books, with no thought of their potential value. But many of the titles in the collection have become quite rare. The collection offers an array of period works, from early Sweet's catalogs and nineteenth century pattern books to obscure titles on building materials and technologies, all gathered around the period house and its grounds.
