The majority of posters in this collection was given to the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library April 15, 2009. A smaller
number of the posters were acquired in the Heritage Bookshop collection, a gift of Ben and Lou Weinstein in 2007.
The majority of the posters are from California International Antiquarian Book Fairs, which are sponsored by the Antiquarian
Booksellers Association of America (ABAA) and have run since 1961. One poster is from the International League of Antiquarian
Booksellers (ILAB) fair, sponsored by ILAB. Other posters are from the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair, sponsored
by the ABAA, which has taken place since 1976. The Santa Monica Book Fair was sponsored by American Book Fairs, Incorporated.
This collection contains nineteen posters from fifteen book fairs that were held in California between 1963 and 2004. The
majority of the posters are from California International Antiquarian Book Fairs; others are from an International League
of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) fair, multiple Boston International Antiquarian book fairs, and a Santa Monica fair. All
posters are paper and come in varying sizes; the width and height (respectively) in inches are listed for each poster.
This collection is arranged chronologically. Item numbers are located on the bottom right of each poster. The presence of
an 'H' indicates the poster was originally from the Heritage Bookshop collection.
