Original manuscripts that predate Gutenberg will also be on display and for sale.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s impossible to walk through the aisles of the Book Fair without being wowed by the visual beauty and cultural significance of the volumes on display,&rdquo; said Michael R. Thompson, Book Fair Chair of the Southern California Chapter of the ABAA, which organizes the event. &ldquo;First time visitors are amazed that they can browse, touch and even go home with items that they imagine could only be found in a museum or special collections library.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"full-image-float-right ssNonEditable\"><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfbookfair.com\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cla\/legacy-images\/events\/45thAntiquarianBookFair_Poster.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1328641782229\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>Unlike single topic events that focus on a particular time period or subject area, the California International Antiquarian Book Fair is all about variety. Looking for a rare or out of print book about interior design or jazz, Latin American literature or the Middle East? You&rsquo;ll likely find it here. Do your interests tend towards natural history, classic literature, sports, photography, children&rsquo;s and illustrated books, or the arts? Again, you are bound to find dealers displaying and selling items relating to those subjects. Equally as compelling, items range in price from a few dollars to more than six figures.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the exhibition, the Fair will present lectures and seminars on book collecting and various themed topics, a special event area for local &#8220;book art&#8221; artists and organizations, and the opportunity for attendees to receive free &#8220;appraisals&#8221; on up to three books. You&#8217;ll find more information about these events <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfbookfair.com\/events.php\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Fair will also feature a special exhibition called &ldquo;A Love Affair with Books: Personal Stories of Noted Collectors,&rdquo; focusing on contemporary southern California book lovers and preeminent library builders. I am particularly pleased to report that the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, which I wrote about in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curatingla.com\/blog-index\/2010\/11\/17\/discovering-the-william-andrews-clark-library-a-genuine-la-t.html\" target=\"_blank\">November 2010 post<\/a>, will display some highlights from its collection that illustrate its founder and namesake&#8217;s collecting habits and the collection&#8217;s history. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the Clark Library, a few of the other noted collectors who caught my eye include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Actress <strong>Sarah Michelle Gella<\/strong><strong>r<\/strong> collects children&#8217;s books with an emphasis on the works of Victorian illustrator Arthur Rackham.<\/li>\n<li>Railroad magnate <strong>Henry Huntington<\/strong> amassed a spectacular collection of rare books and manuscripts in the fields of British and American history; selected materials from the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Lawrence Clark Powell Collection<\/strong> from Occidental College honors the legendary librarian and literary bibliographer who founded the UCLA School of Library Service.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Ward Ritchie Collection<\/strong> from Occidental College presents the work of the world-renowned, Southern California-based fine book printer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monsignor Francis J. Weber<\/strong> has published and built a big collection of small books all measuring less than 4 inches, located at Azusa Pacific University.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this day and age when so much of the information that we create and consume is digital, I welcome any event devoted to physical objects that we can hold in our hands, examine, and smell. The Fair connects us with the past in a very tangible way and allows us to celebrate the history of human thought and creative powers. What a wonderful way to spend a weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>:<br \/>Friday, February 10, 2012 from \u20283 pm to 8 pm<br \/>Saturday, February 11, 2012 from \u202811 am to 7 pm<br \/>Sunday, February 12, 2012\u2028 from 11 am to 5 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pasadenacenter.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pasadena Convention Center<\/a>, located at&nbsp;300 East Green Street\u2028Pasadena, CA 91101 <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Pasadena+Convention+Center,+300+East+Green+Street,+Pasadena,+CA&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=34.149104,-118.117189&amp;sspn=0.036936,0.084543&amp;z=15\" target=\"_blank\">(click for map)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets<\/strong>: A three-day admission ticket can be purchased at the door on Friday, February 10th for $25.00.
