We’ve been enticed to The Globe’s indoor space is to view one of the less than 250 extant copies of Shakespeare’s First Folio

This is the first time the book has left New York since collector John Wolfson acquired it in the 1970s.

Such opportunities to gawp must be seized: it has become relatively uncommon to see a First Folio out in the wild.

The Fair is being held from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th June in Battersea Park and the event is one of the world’s largest independent marketplaces for rare and out-of-print books. More than 150 exhibitors, from 15 countries around the world, will offer rare, unique and unusual works including signed first editions, maps, manuscripts, art and ephemera.

His involvement is part of a larger theatrical theme for this staging of the fair, led by a new partnership with Shakespeare’s Globe.

The Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association (ABA) has joined forces with Shakespeare’s Globe as its charity partner for the next edition of its June flagship fair.

The Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association has signed up US online marketplace Biblio as chief sponsor of its flagship annual fair on June 7-9.

Fair Chairman Pom Harrington tells ATG how the Official Partnership will work as Firsts London seeks to grow.
