Księgarnia i antykwariat MUSAION oferuje publikacje nowe i używane o znacznym walorze poznawczym opierające się upływowi czasu znacznie dłużej niż w przypadku książek z nauk ścisłych czy przyrodniczych. Stąd też w ofercie, obok książek nowych, znajdują się np. wydania źródeł, leksykony, opracowania wydane kilka /niekiedy kilkanaście/ dekad temu wciąż wykorzystywane przez profesjonalistów.
Oferta obejmuje publikacje renomowanych wydawców przeznaczone dla wymagających klientów: miłośników sztuki, naukowców, studentów i profesjonalistów, stąd też dbałość o obecność wartościowych tytułów w katalogu. Dzięki kontaktom z wydawnictwami możliwe jest uzyskanie niższej ceny.
