It is hard to believe it is that time of the year again. Firsts, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association book fair ,for 2023, opens at the Saatchi Gallery, just off the Kings, Road, Chelsea. We are getting our stock list together for this event which will go live on this site in the Catalogues section on the day the fair opens.
It is a wonderful place to see some of the fabulous books produced in the past. In our subject area, we will have a range of modern rarities as well as a few from the past which were at the cutting edge of design in their own time. Come along. Prepare to be amazed.
