Company History

Kubik Fine Books Ltd is based in Dayton, Ohio, and was established in 1985. The company is owned and managed by Owen D. Kubik and is an accredited member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America) and the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers). As such, we are pledged to the highest standards of ethics and professional behavior.
