Antipodean Books Maps & Prints

Amazing store, I was here for and hour and a half, and feel like I could have stayed for another two or three hours. I will go back at my first opportunity. Worth the trip out!

Today, most people buy books online. However, they miss out on one of life's great pleasures. That pleasure is meeting interesting people while browsing in a remarkable bookstore. Antipodean Books, Maps, and Prints is a fascinating place, full of unexpected surprises! Cathy and David Lilburne, the owners of the bookstore are an astonishing couple who are full of knowledge and wonderful stories. Their knowledge of the books, prints, and maps that they sell is wide and deep. Their kindness and connection with their community is legendary. Their bookstore is located in a beautiful and historic building on the banks of the Hudson River. The door is always open for a chat and a browse. Do yourself a favor and stop in to visit. Buy a book from a longstanding independent bookseller. Open up your world with new ideas that will enhance your thoughts and dreams.

What a classic space, fascinating collection, and incredibly hospitable staff! Friday at 5pm is the best time to go as it becomes a community gathering. Thanks, Mr. David!!

This is a wonderful shop with hidden treasures throughout. David is a gentleman and is extremely knowledgable. I highly recommend this 'little shop round the corner' to anyone with an interest in antiquities such as books, maps and prints. Or even to browse and chat with David and his customers who all have interesting stories to tell. It's the kind of place you walk into and leave with something special you never expected to find.nCant wait to go back.nJason CarynPeekskill, NY
