Abstract
In October 2008, Printed Matter hosted the third annual NY Art Book Fair in New York City. Over 130 rare book dealers and small publishers gathered to display and sell their publications. In 2006 and 2007, the fair had the feeling and the energy of a DIY record fair, with long communal tables set up in the old empty Dia space in Chelsea. Each year the fair has grown a little in size and in the attention it generates. This year, in the clean, labyrinthine Phillips de Pury space on West 15th Street, it felt more like an upscale art fair. Each booth had its own table and about 100 square feet of white wall space. The author shares his impressions and observations of the fair.
