The auction house Phillips de Pury & Company, which has a reputation for fetching top dollar for contemporary art,  plays host to this year's Art Book Fair. Hundreds of catalogs (from Phillips along with other houses), contemporary art books, limited editions, and even zines — you know, the precursor to blogs — are available for perusal and purchase all weekend long. If you're interested in a first look on Thursday, tickets are either $20 or $150; all of the fair's benefits go to Printed Matter, Inc.
