Est. 2011 · Southampton, New York

A bookshop for slow readers,
quiet evenings, and long shelves.

Hampton Pages is a small independent bookshop on Clark Street, where Timothy Dupree and a tiny team curate literary fiction, art monographs, and the occasional impossible-to-find first edition.

What we do

Three small obsessions, kept since 2011

I

Literary Fiction

From a tightly edited new-release table to a deep backlist of translated novels, our fiction wall favors voice over volume. We read every title we stock.

II

Art & Photography

Out-of-print exhibition catalogues, Aperture monographs, Phaidon hardcovers, and a long shelf of small-press photo books rotated each season.

III

Rare & First Editions

A locked case at the back of the shop houses signed, scarce, and early printings — sourced through estates, auctions, and quiet friendships.

A bookshop should feel like the inside of a careful mind. Hampton Pages is exactly that — narrow, deep, and warm enough to stay all afternoon. — Hamptons Quarterly, Autumn 2022
Our story

One narrow room on Clark Street.

Timothy Dupree opened Hampton Pages in the autumn of 2011, after fifteen years between a New York auction house and a small university press. The plan was modest: a single room with good light, fewer books than usual, and time to actually talk about them.

Fourteen years later the room is still narrow, the shelves are still hand-built oak, and the catalogue still grows by hand — one title, one conversation at a time.
