For our new readers, we used to do a feature called Harlem’s Hidden Treasures. Jumel Terrace Books definitely qualifies as one.

Antiquarian bookshop specializes in local history, African and American: Colonialist and Revolutionary books, art, and ephemera relating to the Morris/Jumel Mansion and its community: Harlem, Washington Heights, African America, Africa, and the Black Atlantic.

Housed on the garden floor of an 1891 brownstone, the stock draws on private librarian Kurt Thometz’s collections on these subjects. Open Friday through Sunday from 11 to 6 – by appointment, serendipity, and invitation – the shop hosts book signings, exhibitions, and special events.
