Brooklyn Antiquarian Book Fair September 7-8

The Brooklyn Antiquarian Book Fair, now in its 6th year, returns to the Brooklyn Expo Center, Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Saturday and Sunday September 7-8.  This is a Marvin Getman event, 1 of 6 in the rare book and collectible paper shows he stages in the American northeast each year.  This year 113 dealers have signed up and several others are pending.  On Saturday the 7th the day starts with a bagels and books preview from 10:00 am to noon.  The show opens at 11:00 am.  On Sunday the fair continues from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.

 

This show is the official start of the fall season in the United States for collectible paper that will end in December with the approach of the holidays.

 

For this year’s event Brian Chidester is curating the dozen talks and presentations that extend over both days.  Lest you wonder his perspective, here’s how he describes himself:

 

I am “at heart a collector, and believe strongly that the greatest treasures are not the ones sitting in some museum or library, but rather in our attics and barns, antique stores and antiquarian fairs.  They are the portals by which we transport ourselves to other states of  consciousness and inspire us anew to think outside the box.”

 

This year’s event includes seminars both days:

 

Saturday September 7th

 

Noon – “read In” – Mueller Report Graphic Novel Vol. 2 – Meet the author Barbara Slate for a book signing after the “Read In.”

 

1:00 – Presented by Alessandro Keegan – William Mumler and  the Invention of Spirit Photography.

6:00 – Presented by Stacey Robinson – A Dream Today:  Imagined Landscapes, Liminal Spaces, Speculative Futures, and Alternate Histories in Black Literature and Music.

 

Sunday September 8th
