We sell eye-catching used books—antique & vintage editions, literary classics, and off-the-wall obscurities with covers too cool to ignore—and we specialize in “cool books”: the curiosities you didn’t know you needed, the rare & collectible gems hiding in plain sight.
• Bargain-friendly tables. Most titles start at pocket-change prices so anyone can take home a story, yet we still bring a sprinkle of premium firsts and signed copies for serious hunters.
• Show-and-tell appeal. Every book is chosen for its cover art, odd history, or cult-classic status—perfect for browsers who judge (and love) a book by its cover.
• Bulk lots on demand. Need hundreds of books for décor, resale, or creative projects? Set up a meetup in Ann Arbor and we’ll load you up by the box.

Emporia Collectio turns any event into a treasure hunt of very interesting books—wallet-friendly, conversation-starting, and always one-of-a-kind.
