The 2026 CABS-Minnesota antiquarian book seminar was held July 26 to July 31
The 2026 seminar is in the books. Please watch this space for announcements for the 2027 seminar! In the meantime, the seminar's parent nonprofit, the Antiquarian Book School Foundation, plans to open applications for the 2027 Diverse Voices Fellowship early this fall. Stay tuned.
The Antiquarian Book School Foundation offers this flagship antiquarian bookselling seminar, founded in 1977, as a week-long intensive residential seminar of lessons, discussions, and hands-on instruction in the antiquarian book market (books, ephemera, archives, etc.) tailored to the needs of booksellers, collectors, and librarians.
CABS-Minnesota and the Antiquarian Book Seminar Foundation thank the Southeast Chapter of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America (ABAA-SE) and Beverly Rogers for their generous direct support of the Diverse Voices Fellowship. Ask us how you can support our work to sustain and grow the antiquarian book trade!
Nearly 3000 students have graduated from the seminar since its inception, many of whom have gone on to become prominent members of the bookselling community.
Soon to enter its 49th year, the CABS-Minnesota antiquarian book seminar provides an opportunity for leading specialists to share their expertise and experience with booksellers, librarians, and collectors in a comprehensive survey of the rare book market, both antiquarian and modern.
