This year marks the 67th edition of one of the most popular and prestigious rare book fairs in the world.  As Stephen Fry said ‘We are very lucky to have this kind of fair… it’s not elitist, it’s not specialist, you don’t have to be a scholar, you just have to be someone with an immense thirst for the glory of books’.
