Welcome to National Book Auctions, a national public auction service specializing in books and ephemera. We offer a mobile auctioneering service for large inventories and are opening permanent locations around the U.S. and Canada where we conduct live auctions, combining smaller collections and consignments. Our service capitalizes upon the marketing strengths of internet-based marketing and on-line bidding, creating a truly global pool of bidding activity for your items. National Book Auctions is the new generation of CNY Book Auctions and is still based at the original gallery in Ithaca, New York.

National Book Auctions is a targeted service, offering experience and expertise unique to marketing both antique and modern books and ephemera. A few of the noteworthy items that we have handled include books and ephemera signed by William Faulkner, John Steinbeck and Albert Einstein as well as important first editions such as Walden, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Les Miserables. Our auctions comprise a broad range of interesting volumes and ephemera including scholarly works, antiquarian and collectible pieces, artwork, out-of-print and rare printings, select first editions, limited editions and signed editions.

To consignors, National Book Auctions offers a focused venue for the professional handling of your books and ephemera. For bidders, we provide a clean, organized setting with all items accurately described. National Book Auctions is currently accepting consignments for its upcoming auctions.
