Books in Boston @ Hilton Back Bay antiquarian book and ephemera fair

MAKE PLANS NOW FOR THE 2024 BOOKS IN BOSTON EVENT

Books in Boston is presented by MWS Book Fairs, a collaboration between Wiggins Fine Books ABAA, SNEAB and Richard Mori Books, and headed by Duane A. Stevens and Richard Mori.

Duane was the co-developer of the Northampton Book and Book Arts Fair held for several years at Smith College and the Center for the Arts in Northampton, Massachusetts and, along with Richard, developed and promoted the recent antiquarian book and ephemera fair held at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Richard Mori also has promoted the Northern New England Book Fair in Concord, NH.

HOTEL DETAILS:   The Boston Hilton Back Bay is a modern 390-room 4-star hotel with attached parking garage located diagonally across from the Hynes Convention Center, accessed through the Sheraton hotel lobby across the street.  The location of the Hilton within a few minutes walking distance from the Hynes will ensure maximum exposure from the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair and its 120 dealers from around the world and the usual 5,000 visitors to the fair.  We have secured a block of rooms at the reduced rate of $389 per night.  Registered dealers may request the room reservation details from Duane: duane9393@gmail.com.   Reduced rate parking options will be available soon.  In addition this year we have secured additional room blocks at the Hotel Commonwealth (Kenmore Square four blocks and one subway stop) at $225 per night and at the Hilton Garden Inn (off I-95 in Waltham) at $144 per night.

BOOTH OPTIONS:  We are offering a full-booth option of three six-foot tables in a U-shape ($1,150) along with a shared full-booth option ($1,250), with extra tables at $500.   Dealers with showcase requests should inform us as soon as possible.

To reserve your booth please respond as promptly as you can as we are anticipating strong retention from last year’s dealers.  As we are dealers working in the interests of our dealer colleagues and friends we have been working closely with the staff at the Hilton to insure that the show is situated in very comfortable surroundings in the hotel’s main ballroom, with great lighting, easy load-in and easy access to the many shops and restaurants within the Prudential Center just across the street.  The show will be on the second floor of the hotel with easy street access from stairs off the main hotel lobby along with direct elevator access.

Interested dealers should indicate their interest by return e-mail or by phoning Richard Mori at (603) 801-7176 or Duane A. Stevens at (413) 320-3701.  Contracts should be remitted to:  MW Book Fairs, 4 High Street, Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts 01370.

Thank you for your support as we strive to keep live antiquarian book and ephemera shows alive!
