Bauman Rare Books is a truly unusual addition to the roster of Las Vegas attractions, located in the Grand Canal Shoppes. It is a rare find, more of a buttoned-up rare book exhibit or a very small museum than a typical bookshop. Visitors walk in to the musty smell of old paper and books, greeted by an awesome collection encased in sophisticated wood panel bookcases. The gallery features books over 300 years old, historical figures' signatures, and rare documents for viewing and for sale. It is a must stop for antiquarian and rare book-lovers, offering a unique and cool experience with wonderful descriptions and upfront pricing. The staff is very accustomed to visitors and has much info to share, able to help with any rare book questions and provide access to far more books than displayed in the showroom. It is a pleasure to peruse and highly recommended, certainly worth a stop to gawk at the wonderful preserved editions.
We had a great experience browsing along the archived selections. We didn't realize we entered minutes before closing. Nonetheless the employees checked in on us and gave us time to have a glance. Check this store out and be fascinated.

While we pass time for our delayed flight we stopped by here and I love seeing rare books. I wish I had extra budget like that to spare to buy rare books because I saw a few things that really make my heart skip a beat.
