We are looking forward to be taking part in the 54th California Antiquarian International Book Fair, the trade fair organised by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB).
Among other highlights, the fair will include a major historical exhibit on wine and viticulture, courtesy of the wonderful holdings of the University of California Library at Davis, which have aptly been described as “the greatest wine library in the world”. There will also be additional book-related lectures and displays throughout the weekend.
