This fair is at the rare confluence of three exceptional book, manuscript, map and ephemera fairs that annually occur over a single March weekend in the splendid city of New York.  This year the dates are March 5-8, defined as the most concentrated opportunities to experience the collectible paper field first hand.

 

The principal event is:

 

The New York International Antiquarian Book Fair:  60 Years 1960 – 2020

 

220 dealers that are members of the ABAA and non-US dealer organizations will snugly fit into the Park Avenue Armory at 643 Park Avenue between 66^th and 67^th Avenues.  These dealers will display roughly 100,000 collectible items presenting many of the best examples of the most collectible paper categories.

 

Per usual a significant component of this year’s exhibitors are from Europe, Australia, Canada and South America.

 

The hours:

 

Thursday March 5^th 5-9pm

Friday March 4^th noon to 8:00pm

Saturday March 5^th noon to 7:00pm
