Bookstores specializing in American Literature

Selling First Editions and Rare Books from all centuries. Specializing in 19th and 20th century literature, modern first editions, signed and inscribed books, early children's literature, and poetry.

Established in 1993 and located just north of San Francisco in beautiful Marin County, we are antiquarian booksellers dealing primarily in desirable 19th and early 20th Century English and American Literature, both first editions and manuscripts, with a special emphasis on superb original condition. We also specialize in Film Source (\\\"Books to Film\\\") First Editions and film-related manuscripts. We also stock fine Children\\\'s Literature and unique Music manuscripts. Lakin & Marley has an unreasonably small but select stock; we prefer to buy and sell only those books which we ourselves love and can take pride in handling.
