The New York International Antiquarian Book Fair Turns the Page

On April 2, the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America celebrated its landmark 75th anniversary with a cocktail party at Bibliotheque in New York. Co-hosted by book fair ambassador Jesse Paris Smith, the event took place days before the opening of the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair, the 64th edition of which returned to the Park Avenue Armory. Guests enjoyed light bites from Épicerie Boulud amid the cocktails and conversation before walking away with a special takeaway from Byredo. Among the notables in attendance were Patti Smith, Jayne and Joan Michaels, Walton Ford, Jesse Dorris, David Chang, Sunday Steinkirchner, Varun Kaji, Roze Traore, Nanette Lepore, and more.
