COLLECTING - TURGENEV AND EIGHT OTHER ESSENTIAL RUSSIAN AUTHORS

The year 2015 marks the 197th anniversary of Ivan Turgenev's birthday. It's as good a time as ever to reflect on the contributions of this important figure of Russian literature's Golden Age. He rubbed shoulders with the classic authors of his time and brought the eye of the West to one of the world's great literary nations. Turgenev holds a remarkable legacy, and it is strengthened even more when one considers the other voices of his country he helped to amplify.

> Explore Ivan Turgenev and eight other essential Russian authors: Fyodor Dostoevsky - Aleksandr Pushkin - Marina Tsvetaeva - Ivan Goncharov - Nadezhda Durova - Andrei Biely - Vladimir Nabokov - Leo Tolstoy

COLLECTING - ECONOMISTS

Over the course of history, the economy - and all the surmising and projecting and studying it requires - has given rise to some of the most remarkable works of human-thought. Economists in every generation provide a fascinating breadth of work and ideas. We'd like to explore a couple of famous economists as well as some ideas for collecting economy-based works. A basic list of economists that merit our attention can be formed from a quick glance throughout history. These individuals punctuate the economic landscape of their times with their thought-processes, philosophies, and recommendations.

ILAB POP UP FAIRS ON UNESCO WORLD BOOK & COPYRIGHT DAY

23 APRIL 2016

On UNESCO World Book & Copyright Day 2015 ILAB booksellers brought the books to the people. They popped up at the most unexpected places, in schools, at train stations, restaurants, pubs, schools, museums, libraries, woolsheds, business clubs, in the streets, on boats, on skyscrapers. For 24 hours they were part of a great chain of books spanning across the world, raising over 10,000 Euros to support literacy worldwide and showing the most beautiful bookish items to people many of whom had never seen or touched such treasures before. It was an amazing experience.

Join us again on 23 April 2016! Help us make next year's ILAB Pop Up Book Fairs on World Book & Copyright Day even bigger!
