The Salon International du Livre Rare is a fantastic event where rare and antique books are on display and for sale. It is an unmissable fair for those with a special interest in the printed word and its history. As it only takes place once a year at the beginning of fall, it would be wise to make a note of the dates and plan a trip to Paris! This celebration of antiquarian books has a sister event in the U.S., the New York Antiquarian Book Fair, so those who cannot make it to Europe have another equally impressive option on the annual calendar.
Since 1984, the Salon International du Livre Rare has been the finest event of its kind in France and one of the most important in the world for antiquarian books, autographs and manuscripts. The items on display are guaranteed to be of the highest quality, as all dealers are members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers and, if based in France, of the Syndicat de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne. This century-old professional association brings together the best specialists in the field of antiquarian and rare books. They adhere to a strict code of ethics, offering collectors and enthusiasts the best guarantees of authenticity and the best possible expertise in their fields. This is one of the reasons why this book fair continues to enjoy an exemplary reputation for quality.
The Salon International du Livre Rare brings together some 150 dealers. These treasures follow the traces left by the human spirit over the centuries, from the oldest works, dating back to the first books, to contemporary avant-garde works. Today, in addition to amazing historical books, this Paris fair brings together a mix of beautiful prints, old manuscripts, original letters, etchings, fashion illustrations, watercolors, vintage posters, and much more. Lectures and workshops also take place throughout the three-day event, creating the perfect opportunity for a complete immersion in the field of rare and collectible books.
