About the Book Fair

The California International Antiquarian Book Fair’s 2025 edition features more than 100 booksellers from around the world, offering materials from six centuries of printing, as well as original manuscripts that predate Gutenberg. Books cover every imaginable area—from travel, exploration, early science, and medicine to classics of literature, modern first editions, photography, ephemera, and children’s and illustrated books. Prices range from just a few dollars to seven figures.

“Whether you’re a music enthusiast, food connoisseur, or mystery lover, and whether you’re an experienced or novice book collector, this fair is guaranteed to have something for everyone,” said Carol Sandberg, the vice chair of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America. “We’re excited to bring enthusiasts together once again to not only view items one might see in a museum or special collections library, but also have a chance to browse, touch, and maybe even go home with a rare collectible.”
