We are so excited to see you all at the end of this month! Some information about the Rare Book Fair 2024!

The Melbourne Rare Book Fair 2024, presented by the Australian and New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers (ANZAAB) with support from the University of Melbourne, will be held from Thursday, July 25 to Saturday, July 27. This prestigious event showcases an extraordinary collection of rare and valuable books, prints, maps, and ephemera from leading international and local dealers. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore and acquire unique items while enjoying free guided tours led by experienced antiquarian librarians and rare book dealers.

Not long to go now, see you soon….

An interesting read sent to me by a customer. Very sad to hear Booktopia has been so poorly run and is in trouble.

This year is my 35th year in the trade, I love book selling and I am fierce in my love of book collecting. Mentally it is the best thing you can do for your brain to read and grow throughout your life, to learn and make friends from fellow readers.

The best thing you can do is support these small businesses or you’ll all be buying books at K Mart one day.
Don’t forget Rare Book Week and our Rare Book Fair is coming up in late July.

Booked and in the diary. Rare book week is coming, I can’t go to many events because I’m getting ready for our huge rare book fair at Wilson Hall Melbourne Uni from 25-27 July.
But I can’t miss these two lectures so if you want to go with me book now. www.rarebooksmelbourne.com

This lecture will be fantastic a must see for those interested in WWI

What's a Rare Book Week without a talk from Major General Michael (Mike) O'Brien sharing his wealth of knowledge on the history of war and conflict? This year, Mike will talk about Australia's disastrous Battle of Fromelle and his own personal experiences with repatriation of Australia's lost soldiers.
