Bauman Rare Books, the most attractive spot for lovers of antiquarian books and autographs in New York, has announced the opening of a new store at the exclusive Shoppes at The Palazzo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Now book collectors and fans of first editions and rare volumes will have more than one reason to visit Sin City and take home and inscribed copy of Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, a first edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, a signed first edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night or a XVI century edition of the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer. The shop owners, Dave and Natalie Bauman have been in the rare books business for more than 30 years. Bauman Rare Books count with a team of experts and historians to document and certify each book to ensure its legitimacy and price. Bauman Rare Books is one the best and most exclusive rare and antiquarian book sellers in the U.S and counts with shops in Madison Avenue in New York; Center City in Philadelphia; and soon at The Shoppes, the luxury retail center located within The Palazzo Resort and Casino and adjacent to The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino.

Dave Bauman, the store’s owner and book expert, says that he never thought about diversifying his business in a place like Las Vegas.

"Many are surprised that a museum-quality retail store offering rare books and documents from the 15th through 20th centuries is on the Las Vegas Strip -- in the middle of a hotel/casino, but thanks to the city's 40 million-plus worldwide tourists and visitor traffic that turns over every three days, we are ideally positioned to cultivate a whole new generation of collectors. The response to our store has been overwhelmingly positive. Bauman Rare Books is a real stand-out amidst the center's more traditional retail offerings of luxury handbags, shoes, jewelry and apparel." he said.

Bauman's inventory is immense and comprehends a bit of everything, besides, the store’s inventory is frequently changing due to the active nature its customers; the bookstore includes more than 8,000 rare volumes and documents that range from important pieces of American history, literary masterpieces, historical documents, drawings and illustrations, children's books, splendidly illustrated art books and more.
