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.”
Leonard’s was the first antiques store in the Lafayette area to go online, in 1996. Five years later, in 2001, the landmark store was closed, and Eric moved his collection of rare, out-of-print, and quality used books and magazines to a new location in Carroll County, Indiana–right next to our house in the old Burrows fire station. The name was changed to “Leonard’s Books” to reflect our new focus on both book sales and bookbinding. Today, the vast majority of our business is book and Bible rebinding.
Under Construction — Please Pardon Our Dust!
By now, you may have noticed that our website has a new look and style, making it more mobile friendly. We’ve heard your cries and are transforming the way we do things here, to make it easier for you to order from Leonard’s. You should know that our turnaround is greatly improved since last winter and this is the time to send in your books and Bibles for rebinding for Christmas.
