Rare Book Review
Rare Book Review is the world’s leading magazine for all those who love, collect and/or deal in rare and valuable books.
Launched in 1974, the magazine was originally called Antiquarian Book Monthly Review, but its title was recently changed to Rare Book Review to reflect the fact that it covers printed items of all kinds, with the proviso that they should be rare and sought-after.
Our coverage is twofold. The first half of the magazine comprises features on every aspect of book dealing and collecting — including interviews with distinguished collectors, surveys of important collections, both public and private, and profiles of important authors, illustrators and publishers — and regular columns by leading dealers from both Britain and America.
The rear of the magazine, ‘Essential Listings’, is devoted to vital information about the book trade, including details of all the major auctions, fairs and catalogues, as well as previews and reviews of the most important sales.
Each month our ‘Essential Knowledge’ section offers a wide-ranging and informative introduction to a particular area of book collecting. Other features include book reviews, ‘New & Views’, ‘Spotlight’ profiles of major figures in the bookselling world, and a directory of important book-related websites.
The magazine is illustrated throughout in full colour and is produced to the highest standards. Ten issues are published a year.
Rare Book Review is truly international in scope, and we plan to increase our coverage of the book collecting scene in Europe, Asia and the United States. Other developments include the publication of special issues, which are largely – though never entirely – devoted to a single subject, be it a particular author, country or collecting area.
