Flamingo Eventz and Lamont Cranston step out of the shadows to announce the return of The Manhattan Vintage Book & Ephemera Fair, and this year we’re very proud to announce the addition of The Fine Press Book Fair! Known as The Shadow Show because it is held in conjunction with the well-known New York Antiquarian Book Fair at the Park Avenue Armory, this year it will be held on Saturday & Sunday,
April 5 & 6, 2014. This exceptional shadow show has grown steadily since its inception in 2009 to present some of the finest Vintage & Antiquarian Book and Ephemera Dealers in America, Canada and Europe – many of whom are members of ABAA, ILAB, ESA, PADA, MARIAB, MABA, LIABDA and other professional groups – all gathered together for one fabulous weekend to offer an incredible Vintage Book & Ephemera related adventure! With the addition of The Fine Press Book Fair this year we have doubled the size of the show and brought it to a new level of prominence in the Vintage Book & Ephemera world! Held at the well-known Altman Building (The Carriage House) at 135 West 18th St, between 6th & 7th Avenues – the heart of New York’s Chelsea District and just a short cab ride from the Armory – the fair will present an outstanding array of fine, rare & unusual old books, as well as poetry, prose, political, social, historical, children's series, maps, postcards, autographs, prints, posters, World’s Fair, and much, much more. A special feature found only at Flamingo Shows will be Antiques Appraisals by John Bruno – star of the hit PBS antique competition series Market Warriors - Sunday 1-3pm at $5/item!
