STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Book lovers beware. The 62nd annual New York International Antiquarian Book Fair will take place from April 21 to April 24.
The fair will be held in the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave., between 66th and 67th streets, Manhattan.
Produced by Sanford L. Smith and Associates, the book fair will showcase nearly 200 exhibitors.
“We’re thrilled and very fortunate that we are able to hold the book fair in person this year and expect it to be a highlight of the New York spring arts calendar,’' said Smith. “While there have been successful virtual fairs, it is not the same experience as meeting the exhibitors in person and experiencing the wealth of materials available firsthand. We’re expecting a great turnout with nearly 180 exhibitors from around the world.”
