Stephen Fry's "Top Picks" & A Summer Edition

The well established brand of FIRSTS ONLINE is running its 2021 SUMMER edition from 20 - 25 May 2021, together with an expanded events programme.

The online fair will feature a new programming schedule to include three webinars in partnership with London-based Bibliophile journal The Book Collector, online fair tours, as well as an exclusive list of items selected by actor and author Stephen Fry, from our participating booksellers, to be viewable on the website during the first days of the fair.

Visitors to the fair can expect to browse thousands of items from over 100 international reputable booksellers, with new items added daily throughout. New to the Firsts Online schedule, are a series of three online talks created in partnership with The Book Collector, with each talk featuring three specialists in their field, and moderated by Michael Caines, Assistant Editor for The Times Literary Supplement. The three online talks are free with registration for viewers available through the Firsts Online website.

The May fair marks the ABA’s fifth online event since launching the digital platform in mid-2020, with a further three international antiquarian associations utilising the online platform for their own online fairs in 2021. With each event, the platform has been improved and tailored following extensive feedback from exhibitors and visitors to the site, therefore providing a high-quality option for dealers and book sellers to showcase their work while physical fairs are still on hold. The fairs now see on average over 8,000 unique visitors throughout the event, with exhibitors recording total sales upwards of £400,000.
