Rare Books L.A.

Shop and browse centuries’ worth of rare volumes and hear literary talks during this book fair. Over 50 exhibitors from London, New York and elsewhere will fill the historic Ticket Concourse at Union Station with first editions, hard-to-find books, prints, photographs and other ephemera. This year’s event celebrates friend of the fest Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein before it hits theaters and Netflix. A $40 “Frankenstein fundraiser” weekend pass will get you a limited-edition poster and bookmark and entry into a contest to attend the film premiere. Proceeds benefit the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and the LAPL Palisades Branch, which burned down in January.
