Coming up in early June are the two stalwart fairs of the London antiquarian book trade: The London International Antiquarian Book Fair, hosted by the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association (ABA), and The London International Premier Fair, hosted by the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA).
They now come under the umbrella of the newly revamped Rare Books London (RBL), of which ATG is the official media partner. RBL unites the growing number of related events that mark the May-June season for booksellers (see box below right).
