BLANK VERSO BOOKS has a hand selected collection of rare and unusual books and ephemera in many fields. We specialize in the odd, curious, weird, provocative, undiscovered and overlooked. 
Our owners: Steven Hill has bought and sold collectible books for many years, as a collector, former owner of a San Francisco bookstore (Ant Hill Books on Church St.), and as COO of an online book listing site, Bibliocity, that was a competitor of ABE until it was purchased by Alibris. Mara Fath is a ceramic artist who has been buying and selling unusual books and ephemera since the fifth grade when she discovered a beautiful 1884 copy of Poe’s The Raven illustrated by Doré at her local library book sale, and has been finding unique material ever since. Both Mara and Steven are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA), and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB).
