55th Australian Antiquarian Book Fair

The Melbourne Rare Book Fair returns in July 2025 to Wilson Hall, The University of Melbourne. It is the major annual book fair of ANZAAB and one of only a few rare book fairs held in the Southern hemisphere. Now in its 53rd edition, the 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.

This is a gathering of buyers, sellers and lovers of books not to be missed. Whatever your tastes may be, you are sure to find a rare and interesting book, print or piece of ephemera to add to your collection.

Thursday 31 July 6:00-9:00pm
Friday 1 August 10:00am-5:00pm
Saturday 2 August 10:00am-4:00pm
