This year's publications feature western art and Americana from the Bancroft Library and Yale University, illustrated letters from the Smithsonian and avant garde art from Ohio State University, photographs from the collections of Rutgers University the Oregon Historical Society, African-American film posters from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and much, much more!

What is the Silent Auction? Almost all of the books in the Book Fair will be up for auction to benefit the activities of the Visual Materials section.  Stop by as many times as you like to place a bid.  Bids will be accepted in the Expo Hall until 11:45am and in the Visual Materials Section meeting room until 12:15pm.  Winning bids will be announced during the meeting.
