About the Fair

Visitors can browse books, prints and ephemera on a broad range of topics and areas. Our fairs are social events that cultivate a welcoming experience for all. There will be items at the fair to fit all budgets.


In conjunction with the fair, we will host a series of panel discussions, talks and fireside chats with noted authors and cultural figures. A full list of speakers and special events can be found here.


You can reserve tickets in advance or purchase them at the door.

About the Venue

 St. Bartholomew's Church, commonly called St. Bart's, is a historic Episcopal parish founded in January 1835, and located on the east side of Park Avenue between 50th and 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan. On October 31, 2016, the St. Bartholomew's Church and Community House complex was designated a National Historic Landmark, for its significance as an important example of early 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture designed by Bertram Goodhue. The church contains the largest pipe organ in the City (and one of the 10 largest in the world), which will be played by the resident music director during the fair preview night.

Preview Night

Thursday, October 5th:   4:30 pm – 8:30 pm: Preview Night: 


This will be a ticketed event where the public can enjoy wine, live music and canapes while having first access to the books.  


Tickets: $125


During the preview night, Ryan Miller, lead singer of the band Guster, will play his band's song Empire State live at 6 pm. This will be followed by a VIP meet and greet wine reception with Mr. Miller (capped at 30 attendees) between 6:10 pm and 7 pm. Tickets for the VIP reception will cost $250 (inclusive of entry to the fair).


Paolo Bourdigon, associate director of music at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York City and harpsichordist of the New York Philharmonic, will play St. Bart's famous pipe organ with Miller and then continue playing until 8 pm. 


A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the  Antiquarian Booksellers' Benevolent Fund which is dedicated to providing timely financial assistance to those in the book trade who find themselves in a time of need.


Most antiquarian booksellers are individual proprietors with limited capital, and are especially vulnerable to unanticipated ill-health, accidents, natural disasters or other types of misfortune. 


Contributions to the Benevolent Fund are completely tax-deductible.

FRIDAY OCTOBER 6TH, 5pm = 8 pm, michael lindsay-hogg

 Join us for a fireside chat with Michael Lindsay-Hogg at St. Bartholomew's Church.


Tickets cost $50 and include entry to the book fair.


About Sir. Michael:


If fame, though fleeting, matters at all, Michael Lindsay-Hogg is partly famous as the director who lured The Beatles up on the roof for their final-ever Concert as the climax to his film, Let It Be, which provided all the footage for Peter Jackson's epic "documentary about the making of a documentary," Get Back. 


Michael's career began at the age of sixteen when he acted at the Stratford Connecticut Shakespeare Festival. He then attended Oxford University, leaving after a year to work with Orson Welles and act in the theatrical version of Chimes At Midnight. 


Only a few years later, "through a combination of ambition, luck, and guile," he found himself directing Ready Steady Go at the age of 24. It has been called the "greatest live TV Rock and Roll show of all time." 


Then because of friendships he'd made, Michael started directing the earliest videos for the greatest rock bands of the twentieth century. He directed several for The Beatles, including "Rain" and "Hey Jude," and then "Let It Be." 

Michael spent 15 years with The Rolling Stones, directing their first video, "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and others through "Waiting On A Friend," as well as The Rolling Stones "Rock and Roll Circus." He also started The Who off with their first video, "Happy Jack." 


Moving to TV drama, Michael received four BAFTA nominations. In 1981, he won as Co- Director for Brideshead Revisited. 


In theatre, Michael received a Tony nomination for directing Whose Life Is It Anyway? Agnes of God ran for 15 months on Broadway. Then came Larry Kramer's groundbreaking drama about AIDS, The Normal Heart. Michael directed the first production at Joe Papp's Public Theatre in New York, where it caused a sensation. 


He wrote and directed the film, The Object of Beauty with John Malkovich and Andie MacDowell. Roger Ebert called it "Cool and witty." 


Michael's first memoir, Luck and Circumstance, was published by Knopf. He is currently working on a second. 


He has been painting for 25 years and has had shows of his work in Los Angeles and London. His third show of paintings and drawings in Paris will be in Spring 2024.
