Antiquarian Booksellers Association

This year’s Antiquarian Booksellers Association Christmas Party took place on December 7 at Thomas Heneage’s pop-up show on Regent Street.

The rare book trade was kept busy on the evening of December 9 with two parties taking place.

Firsts: London’s Rare Books Fair has added an impressive 49 dealers to the roster for its 65th edition thanks to an influx of international traders.

New environmental laws in Germany and France mean overseas sellers of smaller items such as books are tackling another layer of red tape on top of those already presented by Brexit.

The book trade has called for institutions to be more proactive in reporting missing items after two notebooks belonging to Charles Darwin were mysteriously returned to Cambridge University Library.

More details have been released about the new online book fair bringing North American and European book dealers together this month.

The Export Licensing Unit (ELU), which closed under the March lockdown, has reopened with a new temporary procedure.

Visitors to the ABA’s 'Firsts: London’s Rare Book Fair' spent more than £3m over the events three days.

For the first time this year, the four fairs that make London a destination for bibliophiles in June will be held side-by-side across the space of just four days. ATG looks at the personality of each event.
