Addison & Sarova Auctioneers

Addison & Sarova Auctioneer's is one of few auction houses worldwide dedicated exclusively to the sale of rare and antiquarian books, manuscripts, and maps. As an auction house dedicated only to rare books, we do one thing and we do it well. This, among other factors, is why Addison & Sarova achieves great results for its clients such record-shattering prices to sold rates averaging around 95%.
In 2012, Addison & Sarova conducted one the largest book auctions of the last 50 years when Pulitzer Prize winning author (Lonesome Dove) and Academy Award winning screen writer (Brokeback Mountain) Larry McMurtry consigned 300,000 books to be sold in the sale entitled "The Last Book Sale." This monumental sale made national headlines and affirmed Addison & Sarova as an auction house able to make any auction, big or small, a memorable event.
Owner and principal auctioneer, Michael Addison, is a licensed auctioneer in the states of Georgia and Texas. He holds a BA in English Literature, and as the rare book specialist and the bid-calling auctioneer, he brings his knowledge about each item with him to the auction block.

Extremely helpful and responsive.
After a shipping company "fell off the face of the earth" and quit returning my calls. I drove the 4 hours to the auction house to pick up my merchandise. They couldn't have been more understanding or helpful! I'd absolutely do business with them again!
