ABA Olympia Book Fair 2010

More information on ABA Olympia Book Fair

The London International Antiquarian Book Fair, Olympia is the only truly international fair of its kind in the UK and attracts over 3,500 visitors every year.

The Fair is run by the Antiquarian Booksellers Association (ABA) as its flagship event. In the 52 years since its launch in 1958 it has grown into the largest quality antiquarian book fair in the UK.

The mix of dealers from 18 countries around the world creates a genuinely intercontinental flavour which is of course reflected in the stock on view.

Visitors will enjoy an unparalleled choice of highest quality collectors’ items ranging from Modern First Editions to Incunabula, from Plate Books to Maps and Atlases, from Pamphlets to Poetry, from Photography to Illustrations, to name a few.

All of the book dealers exhibiting at the Fair are members of national antiquarian booksellers associations from all over the world. This means that they are affiliated to the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) and as such have agreed to be bound by a code of ethics and good practice.

The fair is held in the well known London venue, the Olympia Exhibition Centre, easy to reach by public transport and car (outside the congestion charging zone) and with excellent catering facilities.
