Covid-19 Update:

To our valued customers:

It is our hope that all of you are tucked safely away in your homes and staying healthy.  To those of you who are essential workers and continue your jobs during this pandemic - thank you.

We at Phillip J. Pirages are fortunate that our premises and business model allow us to continue to work safely, though with significant modifications: we are working from home as much as possible; we are also shipping out orders only on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to reduced staff presence. However, we are very much open for business and here to help you with orders and inquiries by phone and email. 

Please take some time to browse our inventory online. Our latest catalogue no. 78 is completely digital and now available for download. Please visit our "Catalogues" page to access the fully illustrated PDF or browse online. 

Best wishes,

Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books & Manuscripts
