Melbourne Rare Book Fair

The Melbourne Rare Book Fair returns to Wilson Hall at the University of Melbourne on 27th - 29th July 2023.

The Melbourne Rare Book Fair is the major annual book fair of ANZAAB, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers, and one of only a few rare book fairs in the Southern hemisphere.

Now in its 51st Edition, the Melbourne Rare Book Fair will again feature rare and wonderful books, manuscripts, ephemera, prints (and much more) from the best rare book and antiquarian dealers across Australia and New Zealand and from overseas. The Melbourne Rare Book Fair is the triumphant finale to the Melbourne Rare Book Week, a week of free lectures, exhibitions, book launches and events which celebrates the world of rare books in the UNESCO City of Literature, Melbourne.

Entry to the Melbourne Rare Book Fair is free to all visitors, every day.
