Firsts London is one of the most popular and prestigious rare book fairs in the world, showcasing unique and unusual items from over 100 leading UK and international dealers. As the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association's premier annual fair, it attracts a diverse audience of collectors, dealers, enthusiasts, and the curious alike.
Our theme for Firsts 2025 is taking a decidedly floral turn. From the herbalist’s drive to classify plant species, to the binder’s eye for the sinuous vine in a decorative motif, books and botanicals have a long and intertwined history. At Firsts London 2025, we join the celebration of all things horticultural that sweeps along the Kings Road ahead of the iconic Chelsea Flower Show, offering a new bookish angle on this floral festival. Bringing together over a hundred international rare book dealers in the Saatchi Gallery, Firsts London will display a showcase of floral and botanical examples from print history, from early herbals to contemporary art books.
