New Arrivals (Including Selections From the
Boston Virtual Book Fair) November 23, 2021 This week we are spotlighting some of our selections from recently acquired material. As we said in our last post, we again feature several titles that we havn't seen in a long time (always fun to meet up with old friends... sort of like attending an in person book fair!).
Speaking of in person book fairs, we are looking forward to seeing you in person, if you can make it, at the ABAA's 54th California International Antiquarian Book Fair, February 11-13, 2022, at the Oakland Marriot City Center. The week prior to the Oakland fair we will be in southern California. If you have material to sell, we would be happy to make arrangements to see you (in either locale).
Also: April 21-24, 2022, the New York International Book Fair returns in person to the Park Avenue Armory. So, if all goes well, we are on the way back to great in person book fairs. Many of you have been able to visit smaller shows around the country and we hope to see you at the ABAA fairs. Shipping news: no updates
