Can we reconcile the antique bookshop and Internet?

The question arises for the entire art market on Internet. This universe of infinite reproducibility may be a vehicle of a art pieces, unique by definition? Can the book, testimony and physical representation of our written heritage, find his place in this informal, ephemeral world, dedicated to instant communication?

Reading, and, what is more, reading a valuable book, must be like tasting an old wine, and, like him, requires time to assess its texture, the original special nature of that book, first edition of Les Fleurs du Mal or Une Saison en Enfer, or that other, inscribed by Victor Hugo to his lover Juliette Drouet. A time to savor the history of the work and a time to reach his soul.

It is this unique object, the antique book, we want to guide through the uncertain waves of the Net to your library!

So we tried to combine the atmosphere of our Parisian bookshop and international energy web, the pleasure of "hunting" and the effectiveness of the research. The seller's guidance and the freedom of the Internet.
