We thank the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association for allowing us to host an exhibition of all publications during the 2022 London fair FIRSTS. Every single submission deserves recognition and promotion to a wider audience and we hope many ILAB booksellers and guests at the fair will be able to browse through some of these titles.

Please have a look at the submitted publications here.

We also thank our jury for this large amount of work: Prof. Dr. Bettina Wagner (State Library Bamberg, Germany), Daniel De Simone (De Simone Company Booksellers, US), Fabrizio Govi (Libreria Govi, Italy), Justin Croft (Justin Croft Antiquarian Books, UK), Winfried Kuhn (Antiquariat Winfried Kuhn, Germany) and Yann Sordet (Mazarine Library, France)
