The 2013 Tennessee Antiquarian Book Fair will be held July 20 and 21 at the Fowler Center on the campus of the University of the South in Sewanee.  Booksellers from more than half the states east of the Mississippi River and at least one foreign country will exhibit at this year’s fair.  Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, and Florida are just some of the states represented by participating booksellers (See list below).  For the last three years the fair has been held in Cowan, Tennessee, but the new venue was chosen to allow the Tennessee Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association to host more booksellers than in previous years.  

 

The fair will include a variety of collectable and rare books, autographed documents, and other ephemera.  Bibliophiles will discover modern first editions of literature, mystery, and science fiction.  Collectable books and documents concerning the War Between the States, the American Revolution, and both World Wars will be available.  Dealers specializing in children’s literature, art, religion, fine bindings, and books about books will also be exhibiting at the fair.  Book prices ranging from $10 to $50,000 are sure to pique the interest of the leisure reader as well as the most avid collector.

 

 

The University of the South was founded in 1857 by ten dioceses of the Episcopal Church. However, the Civil War interrupted the plans for the school and it was re-founded in 1866.  Often referred to as Sewanee, it is consistently ranked in the top 5 to 10% of American colleges. The college is also famous for the Sewanee Review which is the oldest continuously published literary quarterly in America.  Published by the university since 1892, it has never missed an issue!
