Thousands of collectors, dealers, and scholars will converge at the Pasadena Convention Center for the 57th California International Antiquarian Book Fair. The California International Antiquarian Book Fair is recognized as one of the world's largest and most pre-eminent exhibitions of antiquarian books and gives visitors a chance to see, learn about, and purchase the finest in fine and rare books, manuscripts, first editions, children’s books, ephemera, maps, autographs, and more. The Book Fair’s 2025 edition features more than 100 booksellers from around the world offering materials from six centuries of printing, as well as original manuscripts that predate Gutenberg. Books cover every imaginable area – from travel and exploration, early science and medicine, to classics of literature, modern first editions, photography, ephemera, and children's and illustrated books. Prices range from just a few dollars to seven figures. “Whether you’re a music enthusiast, food connoisseur, or mystery lover, and whether you’re an experienced or novice book collector, this fair is guaranteed to have something for everyone,” said Carol Sandberg, Book Fair vice-chair. “We’re excited to bring enthusiasts together once again to not only view items one might see in a museum or special collections library, but also have a chance to browse, touch, and maybe even go home with a rare collectible.” For more information, visit abaa.org/cabookfair or call 415-919-9220.
