ABA Chelsea Bookfair
Chelsea Old Town Hall
King's Road 
LONDON  SW3 5EZ   map
2.00 - 7.00
ABA tel: 020 74393118  e-mail  web
The Chelsea fair has become a fixture in the November calendar for book collectors and dealers from Britain, Europe and America. Warmer than Boston, more intimate than York, less formal than Paris Chelsea has it all. Most of our exhibitors come back year after year, and thats because sales continue to increase, and the customers return, again and again.
