Boxboro Paper Town – The Vintage Paper, Book & Advertising Collectibles Show will be returning on June 8, 2024. The popular show takes place in Boxboro, or more formally, Boxborough, every year when there isn't a Covid plague shutting down the land. The hours for the Saturday show are 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. It will again be held at the Boxboro Regency Hotel & Conference Center.
Exhibitors from across the Northeast will be displaying all sorts of collectible paper. You will find books, maps, photographs, autographs, prints, advertising, posters, postcards and more available to take home. A feature of this year's show will be Fred Calabretta's Beatles memorabilia.
Would you like a bit more specificity as to the category of material available? Show promoter Flamingo Eventz provides it: advertising, African American, architecture, Americana, art, auctions, autographs, aviation, art deco, books, black power, calendars, calling cards, Christmas, circus, Civil War, cook books, children’s books, design, dogs, documents, engineering, esoterica, fantasy, fashion, fishing, folklore, foreign language, games, gardens & horticulture, historic documents, hunting, illustrated books, interior design, Judaica, letters, manuscripts, maps, maritime, medicine, military, modernism, music, Native American, natural history, nautical, naval, olympic games, photography, pop-ups, poetry, postcards, posters, presidential archives, press books, prints, psychedelica, puzzles, railroad, Revolutionary War, science, science fiction, sports, theatre, theology, trade cards & catalogues, travel & exploration, typography, valentines, whaling, wine, yachting and more.
