Widely regarded as the world’s premier antiquarian book fair, the event brings together more than 170 leading exhibitors from around the globe, transforming the Armory into a temporary cabinet of curiosities spanning centuries of art, literature, science, design, fashion, gastronomy, philosophy, children’s books and beyond. Visitors encounter everything from accessible finds starting around $50 to museum-quality first editions, manuscripts, maps, and multimillion-dollar rarities.
This year’s edition continues to expand its reach with a dynamic mix of returning specialists and new dealers, alongside a growing Ambassador Program that connects rare books to contemporary collectors and creatives across disciplines. Ambassadors include Founding Ambassador Jesse Paris Smith, Alexandre Assouline, Sasha Bonet, Isabella Boylston, Adam Eli, Meredith Graves, Levi Higgs, Connor Holloway, Sarah Hoover, Sarah McNally, Camille Okhio, Karah Preiss and Emma Roberts.
