Dieter Schierenberg B.V. was established in 1974 and was formerly a part of Antiquariaat Junk and Elsevier publishers. Since 1984 we operate under the name above and specialize in rare, out of print and illustrated Natural History books & Periodicals including the following subjects: Earth Sciences, Travel, Scientific Explorations, Physical geography, Anthropology, Science and the History of Science.

We hold one of the largest stocks on these subjects on the European continent and have a big experience covered by several generations of Schierenberg’s in the antiquarian booktrade.

Jeroen Schierenberg (third generation) has become director of the firm in 2007. Former director and father, Dieter Schierenberg has decided to spend most of his time painting in southern France, which has always been his great passion. He remains active as an advisor and partner for certain bookfairs.

We have a small dedicated staff of people that work with us, of which Arjen Stada has been with us the longest and is the only full-time employee.

Although we do not run an open shop, we welcome visitors any time by appointment. Wantlists for books and/or periodicals will be dealt with promptly and catalogues are available on demand. You may find us at big International bookfairs around the world, for instance in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Zürich, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
