The Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair will return to the Michigan Union on the campus of the University of Michigan on Sunday, October 13, 2024 for its 48th year.

The book fair is a benefit for the William L. Clements Library. $5 admission, but students enter for free!

PLEASE NOTE that the Probility Ann Arbor Marathon will be running on October 13. There will be street closures in Ann Arbor, including in front of the Michigan Union. See the list of road closures here and a map of the race here. We regret that autumn in Ann Arbor means everybody else must fit in all of their events around the football schedule but such, such are the joys of life in a Big Ten city.

The Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair has brought together booksellers and dealers from across America for nearly five decades, handling a wide range of old and rare books, Americana, children’s books, autographs and manuscripts, maps, prints, ephemera, photography, fine press material and more.

See real books. See real people. See a real book fair. See you in October!
