Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair

BOSTON, MA -Imagine a place where the best printed works are not downloadable, but available to touch and view in their original forms—that place is the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair.  The annual fall gathering for booklovers, returns to the Hynes Convention Center in Boston’s beautiful Back Bay, November 11-13, 2011, offering an engaging cross-section of the best printed works from around the world.  More than 120 dealers will be in attendance, featuring fine and rare books, manuscripts, maps, prints and modern first editions.  Participants come United States, England, Germany, Canada, France, Hungary, The Netherlands, and for the first time Argentina.

Seminars and events punctuate the weekend, including the Ticknor Society Roundtable on Saturday, a panel discussion of collectors talking about their collections; and free appraisals on Sunday where patrons can bring in their own books for expert evaluation.  More events will be announced, and folks can visit www.bostonbookfair.com for up to the minute details.
