We are taking part in the California Virtual Book Fair, sponsored by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB).
The three-day virtual book fair will offer a rich selection of manuscripts, early American and European literature, modern first editions, children’s books, maps and autographs, as well as antiquarian books on history, science, law, architecture, cooking, wine, and a wide range of other topics from the collections of more than 200 booksellers from over 20 countries around the world. There’s more to the fair than just browsing online listings of rare books and related ephemera—a number of special events and programming will take place during the fair as well.
