Thousands of antiquarian books, prints, maps and autographs will be
available for purchase from trusted ILAB booksellers through the Virtual
Book Fair, part of the virtual Celebration of the Book sponsored by ILAB at
www.ilab.org beginning at 6:00 pm Amsterdam time, 1:00 pm Eastern daylight
time, on Thursday, May 20th and running until 10:00 pm, Amsterdam time, May
22nd. Our booksellers have chosen special items for this virtual book
fair, many of which won't be available anywhere else on the web.
In addition to the virtual book fair, this four day event will include a
virtual auction running until May 22 to benefit UNICEF, a non-profit
organization helping children in need around the world; a "Biblio Quiz"
where entrants can win prizes by testing their book knowledge, and live
appraisals on Saturday, May 22nd. ILAB will also launch new features on its
website, including educational resources for book collectors and
highlighting its powerful new search engine which searches a database of
over 3 million books, maps, prints and autographs from nearly 2000
booksellers from all over the world.
The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), an organization
of national associations of antiquarian booksellers around the world,
speaks for twenty nations and nearly two thousand leading booksellers bound
by a code of ethics to promote the integrity and professionalism of the
antiquarian book trade worldwide.
