Hey, I’m Jake! I didn’t start out as a bookseller—I started as a collector, just like you. I spent years digging through flea markets, estate sales, and garage sales, always on the hunt for that next great Stephen King find. Along the way, I realized something: the best part of collecting isn’t just the books—it’s the people you meet and the stories behind them.

What began as a personal obsession with first editions and signed copies turned into Jake’s Rare Books—a place where collectors can buy with confidence, sell with ease, and geek out over the books we love. I specialize in rare and limited-edition horror, fantasy, and sci-fi books, with a particular focus on Stephen King first editions, signed copies, and collectibles.

Whether you’re tracking down a holy grail edition or just getting started, I’m here to make the hunt fun, accessible, and stress-free—because book collecting should never feel like a chore.
