About this event

Before the internet there was paper. Vintage paper in the form of rare and unusual books, handwritten letters, vintage postcards, maps, posters, photography, manuscripts and much more. So much paper has been lost over time, burned, trashed, rotted and disintegrated. But some of the best paper has survived and is treasured by people who find joy in collecting vintage paper in all its forms. A unique event showcasing ancient paper, eighty tables plied high, where a visitor can spend a leisurely hour or half day browsing through paper relics from another time. Categories include pulp fiction, old advertising, concert, travel, movie posters, rare books, first editions, maps, prints and genuine curiosities. Come out to browse and collect or simply wander through the past in paper, all with stories you won't find on your screen.
