Created in 2004, this fair gathers copies that, unlike the used book, they are rare or scarce because they belong to limited or initial editions, for having a handwritten dedication from its authors, for the exquisiteness of its conception, or for containing original illustrations by artists that give it the status of small works of art.
In this edition, the Fair will include talks, interviews and presentations that will convene, among others, to Sergio Pujol, who will reflect on the exercise of biographing as a way of narrating cultural history, or the artistic collective “Paper Works”, which will present a collection based on the work of Jorge Luis Borges and Silvina Ocampo.
Meanwhile, Ral Veroni will present his “River Plate theater of entities”; while Sol Rébora, Goldztein flower, Fermina Ziaurriz and Elena Padín, they will talk about the binding, restoration and conservation of the book.
