Recent visit to used/old book store

Hi all!
I recently made a visit to a used/old book store. By the way, we have a word in portuguese for these special stores, that sell old and used books: alfarrabista. Does English have a special word for this?Other them second-hand bookseller or antiquarian?

I found some old pages from a catalogue with some typefaces and ornaments. I made a digitalisation of some to share with the “commutity”...
Enjoy

António Fonseca

PS- As soon as I get more free time I will digitalise the rest...
