Bibliophiles, academics, and literary tenderfoots pore over collections from over 200 rare-book institutions this weekend at the International Antiquarian Book Fair. Vintage reads and classic manuscripts from all over the world are for sale, with some pieces as old as pre-15th century — predating even Gutenberg's invention of movable type. Find first editions of modern books, or hold your breath as you gingerly flip through a 17th-century Shakespeare folio, and be sure to check out the bookbinding demonstrations, calligraphy classes. And seminars like Rare Books 101 (read: Book Collecting and Care for Dummies).
