[Rarebooks] California Book Fairs - Pasadena and Oakland

[John Howell]

Dear Friends and Colleagues:  

I will be exhibiting at The Pasadena Antiquarian Book, Print, Photo and Paper Fair, January 31 and February 1, 2015 - http://www.bustamante-shows.com/book/index-book.asp.  I will be in Booth E.

AND at The 48th California International Antiquarian Book Fair, February 6 - 8, 2015 in Oakland - http://www.sfbookfair.com/.  I will be in Booth 814.  

I STILL HAVE 5 PASSES FOR FREE ADMISSION TO OAKLAND.  Send me an email, and I can leave you a pass at Will Call in Oakland (while supplies last).  

The lion's share of the material I will be exhibiting consists of a collection of nearly 500 items focused upon the history of Typography, from the Fifteenth Century to the Present.  

The following links will take you to PDF lists hosted on my website that provide a taste of what I will be exhibiting at the fairs:

1) Typography: 148 items including specimen books, history of the book and printing from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, and reference books of the same (think Wing):
