Rare Books LA: Pasadena welcomes booksellers and bibliophiles from around the world to share their love of books, fine prints, maps, ephemera, and more on Feb. 3–4, 2024, at the Pasadena Convention Center.
In addition to rare books, visitors will see everything from historic maps and original artwork to artists’ books and punk zines. There’s something for everyone, all under one roof.
Rare Books LA is also hosting a series of bookish talks at the event, all included in the price of admission. Among the speakers is Vanessa Wilkie, The Huntington’s William A. Moffett Senior Curator of Medieval Manuscripts & British History and head of Library Curatorial. Wilkie will talk about her new book, A Woman of Influence: The Spectacular Rise of Alice Spencer in Tudor England.
