Our Background

Since 1978, the Lombards have offered their rare maps and fine prints internationally - first by catalogues and sales lists, and, for the past 29 years, through exhibiting at up to 29 major antiquarian book fairs and antiques shows coast-to-coast annually. Starting in 2007 the business will be solely online, with the exception of "hands-on" appraisals.

For two years President of the Maine Antiquarian Booksellers Association, Reg Lombard is an emeritus member of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB). Reg is a graduate of the United States Military Academy, Class of 1950, the French Ecole Superieure de Guerre in Paris, and retired after 30 years of service as Dean of The National War College in Washington D.C, a position which he held for five years.
