Partners in books become partners in life!
Ron & Cathy's marriage in the book shop - October 18, 2008.
Old Scrolls Book Shop was established in 2001 by Catherine Petruccione.
Cathy is a long-time reader and collector. She is also Media Editor for Bookthink -- a site for readers, collectors and booksellers. (Visit www.bookthink.com for excellent articles and information on reading, selling used books, and collecting fine used books).
Ron is Head Book Buyer and Customer Service Representative for Old Scrolls Book Shop. We purchase used books, Rare Books and modern first editions in very good to fine condition.
Ron Sollome and Catherine Petruccione manage the shop out of their 1850's farmhouse, located about 5 miles southeast of Canandaigua, New York.
Ron is a craftsman--he built the beautiful bookcases you see on our home page, and has turned our 1850's farm house into a multiple level book store. We feature 5 rooms on two floors of your favorite authors.
Our new addition is open the 25 x 20 area on the rear of first floor is loaded with book on all subjects.
We love having customers stop and enjoy the beautiful gardens in summer and the warm fire in the library during colder months.
Please call ahead to check on open shop hours as we do leave from time to time to acquire new stock. (585-355-6971).

Find something for everyone--rare books, first edition books, antiquarian books and author-signed books; non-fiction books on many subjects and genres; mysteries books and more!
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll:
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
- Emily Dickinson
(From the book, The Magic Carpet: Poems for Travellers
selected & compiled by Mrs. Waldo Richards)
