Now in its 49th edition, and 50th year, the Melbourne Rare Book Fair will again feature rare and wonderful books, manuscripts, ephemera, prints (and much more) from the best rare book and antiquarian dealers across Australia and New Zealand and overseas.

Thursday 7th July 6pm - 9pm

Friday 8th July 10am - 5pm

Saturday 9th July 10am - 4pm

Join us (and more than 20 other antiquarian book dealers) for what will be a wonderful weekend of bookish joy.
