The fair will be open continuously from 12 pm ET on Thursday until 7 pm ET on Saturday.

The California International Antiquarian Book Fair is a cherished event for rare book collectors and the international trade and faced an unexpected cancellation this year as the Pasadena Convention Center remained in use for emergency evacuations. In response, the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA) swiftly adapted by organizing a virtual edition of the fair, ensuring that booksellers and collectors can still connect and explore rare literary treasures.

This online event offers a unique opportunity for bibliophiles to browse and acquire exceptional books, manuscripts, ephemera and more antiquarian material from renowned dealers worldwide.
While the in-person gathering is missed this year, the virtual fair will keep the spirit of discovery alive in a digital format.
