| We buy and sell books, specializing in
South Florida and the Caribbean.
We are always interested in purchasing important individual items or specific collections. We also do appraisals of books.
We are an internet mail order business,
but if you are going to be in our area, our
stock can be seen by appointment. Please email first or call.
Our telephone number is: 305-856-4861.
If you are looking for an open store in the Miami area we recommend Mary Ann's place,
Dunbar Old Books. They have over 15,000 books
in all different categories with an emphasis on non-fiction. See their website for hours and
location.
Grove Antiquarian was established in 1989. We first began selling books by quoting in AB. In 1990 we opened a store in Coconut Grove with 10,000 titles. We began selling on-line in 1994. The internet changed our business so much that having an open store became uneconomical; we closed the store in 1999. The Miami New Times had this article about our store's closing.

In the past we have held the posts of Director and Treasurer in our association. Ward Arrington, the president of Grove Antiquarian, is a graduate of the University of Miami (1967) with a major in English and a minor in Art. In years past we enjoyed selling our books at bookfairs - notably the annual Florida Antiquarian Book Fair in St. Petersburg and the Miami International Book Fair.
