Here's our roundup of the best literary events happening this week. Get busy, bookworms!

Now in its 64th year, this festival for book collectors convenes at Park Avenue Armory for a full weekend of first editions, maps, manuscripts and other treasures from literary epochs past from nearly 200 exhibitors.

Sixteen new exhibitors will make attend this year. Fair highlights encompass art, science, medicine, literature, history, gastronomy, fashion, Americana, philosophy, children’s books and much more.
