About Cedar Leaf Books

Bookbinder | Curator of Rare Books

Brooklyn, New York

Cedar Leaf Books is an independent bookseller and bindery specializing in rare, used, and new literature. From modern first editions to well-worn classics, every title is selected with care, while our antiquarian volumes pass through our in-house bindery for archival-quality restoration. We believe books carry more than words: they carry history, memory, and ideas that live beyond the page.

Our Philosophy

Whether you're a reader, collector, or simply drawn to well-made books, you're welcome here.

Located on Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape people.

As a bindery and bookseller rooted in preservation and repair, we believe in naming the deeper histories of the places where our work is made.

We give back. A portion of our sales supports the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. Learn more at niwrc.org
