Firsts: London's Rare Book Fair

Firsts London is the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association's main fair of the year. Around 100 dealers in rare books, manuscripts, maps, prints and ephemera take stands across the three floors of the Saatchi Gallery on the King's Road in Chelsea. Most are ABA members, joined by overseas dealers trading under ILAB rules, and the stock runs from modern firsts to early printed books, Islamic manuscripts, atlases and globes.
