ILAB Webinar on the Paris Virtual Book Fair, April 22
Due to the current worldwide COVID-19 crisis, the Paris Salon du Livre Rare / Paris Rare Book Fair was postponed to a new date in September: 4-6 September 2020.
The Paris fair should have opened its doors this Thursday. However, in an enormous effort, the organizers have put together the first VIRTUAL RARE BOOK FAIR which will be launched with a digital catalogue this Thursday at 5pm Paris time (the launch of the virtual book fair NOT the webinar!)
The stock which would have been for sale in Paris is now available in this new format and can be accessed from Thursday!
Access to the virtual fair will be via the fair's website, see: https://www.salondulivrerare.paris/
The actual Paris digital catalogue will be launched on Thursday, 23 April 2020 at 17h Paris time - the same time as the fair had scheduled its official opening.
Please join ILAB and SLAM, the French Antiquarian Booksellers Association in a brief presentation about this virtual fair and a presentation of this unique digital catalogue!
There will be 2 webinars - ENGLISH & FRENCH
Wednesday, 22 April (tomorrow!) at 13h Paris time in FRENCH
Wednesday, 22 April (tomorrow!) at 14h30 Paris time in ENGLISH

We hope to see many of our colleagues tomorrow at one of these sessions.

If you have not used Zoom before, please allow yourself an extra 15 minutes as your computer will download the software first and this might take a moment.
If your computer has downloaded the software but you can't find where to click, please look for the ZOOM logo on your desktop and click on it. See below an image of the logo!
If you log in from a tablet or mobile phone, there is a Zoom app you can use. It will make it easier if you install the app beforehand. It's free of charge. Download "ZOOM" in the App Store. See logo below in this email.
