Bibliography Week

Join exhibitors offering books, maps, ephemera, and more for sale at the Bibliography Week Showcase. The Showcase takes place in conjunction with Bibliography Week at FIAF on East 60th Street, just across from the Grolier Club. The Showcase features more than two-dozen dealers displaying printed and manuscript material from the Middle Ages to the present day. Admission is free! List of exhibiting dealers coming soon.

Join us for the curator’s lecture for The Best Kept Secret: 200 Years of Blooks, an original exhibition opening January 16, 2025, at the Center for Book Arts. The Best Kept Secret considers 250 years of hand-crafted book-shaped objects—made by craftspeople, artists, and inventors—alongside contemporary book art. The talk by curator Mindell Dubansky will provide an opportunity to highlight the little-known craft techniques and traditions on display, as well as to present Dubansky’s observations on what these objects signal about their makers’ practical and emotional connections to the book.

Join us at the New York Society Library for a gathering in the Members’ Room. This is an opportunity to meet your fellow members of both the BSA and the Society Library, learn more about our organizations and the many resources we have to offer to the broad community of book people.

Special note for members of the Grolier Club: many Club members attend both events this evening! Attend in black tie with Executive Director Erin McGuirl, Membership Committee Chair Charlotte Priddle, and other BSA-Grolier members who will carpool to the Metropolitan Club in time for the start of cocktail hour.

The BSA Officers and members of the Council warmly invite you to attend the Society’s Annual Meeting on 24 January 2025! This year the program will start at 10 am with three synchronous panel presentations. The Editors of PBSA will host a brown-bag lunch session starting at noon, with the New Scholars program beginning at 1 pm.

Details about the morning sessions and the New Scholars Program speakers will be announced in November 2024.
