As April returns every year, so does the annual ABAA’s International Antiquarian Book Fair at the Park Avenue Armory. Its 64th iteration features rare books, manuscripts, illustrations, memorabilia, and more from many of the world’s most esteemed sellers. Whether medicine, fiction, pop culture, or gastronomy, everyone’s interests are covered in this endless trove of collectibles. Highlights are sure to include a set of original Picasso etchings, plus poem, related to studies for Guernica; a British first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone; a signed copy of The Hobbit; a Ray Bradbury original painting; and a one-of-a-kind rebound first edition of Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. —Lucy Horowitz
