Greater St. Louis Book Fair sells many rare and collectible books, movies, music, comics and ephemera. Our inventory includes first editions, limited editions, out-of-print editions, signed copies and other treasures. These items are located in the Collector's Corner section at the fair, and are sold on a first come, first serve basis. Volunteers begin posting rare and collectible inventory in the summer.

All rare and collectible items are sold on a first come, first serve basis at the purchase counter. Patrons must remain at the purchase counter while their items are being pulled from the display cases. Request lists will not be fulfilled unless the interested patron is present. Please note that Greater St. Louis Book Fair reserves the right to add or remove items for sale as necessary. Furthermore, all prices are tentative until they are locked in one week before the fair. Check back frequently for new updates.
