New York Antiquarian Book Fair

The stunningly beautiful New York Antiquarian Book Fair has again reached new
heights of excellence and participation.  The  58th annual event at the Park Avenue Armory
brought together more than 200 American and international sellers in a setting that was
as splendid as it was interesting.

Rare historic selections as well as more recent books of note were among the offerings which also included maps, autographs, and prints.

JF Letenneur Rare Books of Saint Briac sur Mer, France, a perennial show favorite returned.
Frederik Muller a renown Dutch dealer was back too!

Seth Kaller  Historic documents of Westchester, NY brought a Draft of President George Washington's First Inaugural Address from 1789!!

Lionheart Autographs of New York City offered a rare Walt Whitman photo. 

Indeed the show offered a plethora of quality dealers such as favorites Leo Cadogan of London, the perennially popular Asia Bookroom from Canberra, Australia, Buddenbooks of Newburyport, MA and Antiquariat Kainbacher of Baden, Austria joined dealers from Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan and Russia.  

Until nextYear!!!
