The 65th Edition of the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair featured a special performance by Patti Smith and her daughter Jesse Paris Smith. The fair welcomed over 200 exhibitors showcasing literary treasures from inexpensive collectibles to rare finds. The Smiths, lifelong supporters of the event, participated actively by spotlighting their favorite exhibitors through poetry and music. Jesse highlighted a new ambassador program aimed at raising awareness about the fair's cultural significance, aiming to engage renowned personalities to promote literature and book collecting among the public.
Legendary singer Patti Smith and her daughter Jesse Paris Smith performed a surprise, intimate performance on April 5 during the ABAA New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.
Eight ambassadors, including Alexandre Assouline and Emma Roberts, were inducted into the program. Smith hopes their efforts will shed more light on the importance of this cultural fair.
Since my mom and I are such admirers, we attend every year and do everything to spread the word about the fair and honor our fellow book friends.
We picked two booths that appear dear to us: Henry Wessels from James Cummins Bookseller, and we're honoring Sanctuary Books.
