Madrid hosts the biggest antique book fair in Spain

Bookworms and lovers of old bibliographic gems simply must get to Madrid between November 28th and December 1st.

For one more year, the Madrid Guild of Old Booksellers is holding the 21st Madrid Antique Book Show, which will take place in the unrivalled surroundings of the ‘Crystal Gallery’ at the Palace of Cibeles, the home of the Ayuntamiento de Madrid, with the main purpose of spreading the documentary and bibliographic riches of our culture.

The Show, which will host a total of 25 antique booksellers from Spain and abroad, will offer the public a chance to get hold of some real bibliophilic gems, from medieval documents and books of hours, to modern editions of art books illustrated by leading painters of the 20th century. On sale will be incunables, gothics, books, atlases and engravings from the 16th and 17th centuries with editions of our classics from the ‘Golden Century’, without forgetting the great printers’ works of ‘illustration’, done by Ibarra, Sancha and other great master printers.
