The 2010 and 2012 Vancouver Book Fairs were a great success and included many of British Columbia’s as well as some of Canada’s finest booksellers. Each fair attracted close to a 1000 visitors.

A wide selection of antiquarian, collectible and rare books, ephemera, maps, prints, manuscripts and works on paper will be on offer at the fair – including Canadiana; children’s and illustrated; fine press and limited editions; history and military history; literature and fine arts; modern first editions and signed copies; natural history; travel and exploration; science and technology as well as many other subject areas. The items on offer will range from 15th century incunabula to 21st century modern first editions.
Everyone including experienced or novice book collectors, librarians, archivists, scholars and people just interested in books and the book arts are certain to find something of interest at the fair. We invite you to visit the fair and peruse and purchase the treasures offered for sale.
