Note: If you call our business line, you may get a voice mail greeting. Do not be dismayed! We are still here, and we would be glad to serve you.

WELCOME TO LEONARD’S BOOKS
Leonard E. Haley first opened Leonard’s Antiques & Used Furniture back in 1972 in a familiar storefront in Lafayette, Indiana. After he passed away in 1988, his son Eric continued the family business, gradually adding his favorite stock — books — and changing the name to “Leonard’s Antiques & Books.”
