Serving the Book Community 45+Yrs. Over 20,000 Collectable Books
Each year, three dozen colleges and universities hosted book-collecting contests for their students. Since Swarthmore College held the first competition in the 1920s, these contests have encouraged generations of young collectors to become booksellers, librarians, and accomplished bibliophiles.
The publisher and editor of Fine Books & Collections support these young collectors and their college libraries. We are, therefore, proud to host the Collegiate Book Collecting Championship. The top three winners receive cash prizes and a donation to their library will be made in their name.
