The Minnesota Antiquarian Book Fair is an annual fair preceding the CABS-MN seminar and featuring almost forty booksellers working across the used, antiquarian, and rare book trade for both beginning and experienced collectors. Specialties represented include: collectible books in all fields, including books for beginning collectors; first editions, including modern firsts; signed books; fine bindings; literature; social movements; science fiction and fantasy; art books; comics; magazines; ephemera; children’s; sports… there’s something for everyone! We host vendors that have decades of experience in bookselling, and they offer items of historical interest and importance. Many of our dealers also pride themselves on offering books and manuscripts connected to underrepresented groups in the historical record.
