As a newer member of the trade, Rebekah Cron of Fold the Corner Books is well-placed to guide first-time and younger collectors. This tour will introduce the basics of collecting rare books and building collections. It will visit several exhibitors at Chelsea to chat about how to spot first editions, the thrill of the hunt, and the benefits of fostering relationships with ABA and PBFA dealers. It will also touch on how to take care of books post-purchase. 

This free tour is part of Chelsea Rare Book Fair, one of the most beloved fairs of the rare book calendar. The fair brings together more than 70 exhibitors, with material to suit every interest and budget.
