Greenwich Village
Antiquarian
Book Fair
Home | About us | Directions | Participating Book Dealers
PS 3 is located in Greenwich
Village at 490 Hudson Street
(between Christopher and Grove Streets)
The Greenwich
Village Antiquarian Book Fair was started by PS 3 parents
in 1980 as a fundraiser for the school. It has run every year since
then and remains one of PS 3’s largest fundraisers.
The fair is organized by parent volunteers and run by a combination
of volunteers from the community of PS 3 parents, PS 3 alumni,
PS 3 alumni parents, PS 3 teachers, and PS 3 administrators. All
money earned from the fair goes to pay for our arts programs.
The Greenwich Village Antiquarian Book Fair brings more than 65
book dealers from all over the country with varied specialties. In
any given year one may see a shelf of first edition detective novels beside illuminated medieval texts or photos of New York City at the
turn of the century across from civil war memoirs.
The Greenwich Village Antiquarian Book Fair is unusual because it is
not developed by a promoter but by the PS 3 community. We are
proud to provide an event which is centered on books and literature
and to be part of the continuum of the literary history of Greenwich Village.
