 The 47th annual New York Antiquarian Book Fair is the oldest and most prestigious of its kind in the world. Each exhibitor offers bibliophiles and collectors an extensive selection of rare books, manuscripts, autographs, finely-bound volumes, maps, modern firsts, ephemera and more. Genres of books range from travel and exploration to art and children's books.
From noon to 3 pm on Sunday, expert appraisals will be available to the public for free, and visitors are encouraged to bring up to five items, rare books or manuscripts from their personal collections. Find out the value of your rare first editions!
This year's fair includes almost 200 international dealers from the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, France, England, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Argentina. Click here for the complete list of exhibitors.
