ABAA Hosting Online Book Fair Now Through December 2
- by Michael Stillman
If you're looking for holiday gifts, whether for family, friends, or yourself, the ABAA is offering a quick and easy solution for the book collectors in your life. It's an online fair, but there will be no last minute shopping here. The fair ends on December 2, so you must act quickly.
We count 67 exhibitors and they come from all over America and Europe. The nice thing about a virtual fair is you can visit booksellers from thousands of miles away without having to make the long trip. The ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America) makes it easy to find what you like. You can browse by category, which means the collecting subject, or by product (books, maps, photographs, ephemera, etc.). Alternatively, if you have a favorite bookseller, you can look through their items specifically. Additionally, you can search by price if you mostly collect within a particular price range. Finally, there's a keyword search box to find something specifically.
Material is displayed with a photograph and brief description. If it piques your interest, just click on the lot and it will lead you to a complete description. Then, if you wish to purchase it, click on the link to add it to your cart. There is also an email address and phone number if you wish to contact the seller for more information first.
Don't wait as the fair closes Saturday afternoon, December 2. Here is a link that will take you to the virtual fair:
