Since 1985 Max Silverenberg has officially been engaged in books. At first together with Jos Huddleston Slater. Since 1989 on his own.
In his large shop he organized the first book-auctions in the southern part of Holland. At that time he was also co-organizer of the Eindhoven Bookfair.

In 1991 he moved his shop to an old and lovely building on the other side of the street. A lot smaller than the former building so he specialized in the following subjects: Constantinople (books and maps), old illustrated books, art, travel, judaica, maps and prints.


In 2001 Max decided to expand with modern art and had a new gallery built. Various expositions were held with artists like Panamarenko and Tom Wesselmann.

In 2003 the books and maps replaced the modern art in the gallery. So at this moment there is a new modern building with old books and maps.

Max Silverenberg is participating in the Deventer bookfair, International Antiquarian Bookfair Mechelen, Paris Mapfair and the Amsterdam Antiquarian Book & Printfair.
