Firsts: London’s Rare Book Fair

I previewed  Firsts: London’s Rare Book Fair, the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association's annual flagship event, which opened today for Fine Books. Here's a snippet:

To raise awareness of the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre’s Project Prospero, which is fundraising for a new Shakespeare library and archive, there will be various related items on show from the John Wolfson Rare Books Collection including a Shakespeare First Folio (1623) as well as a first edition of The Two Noble Kinsmen (1634) by Shakespeare and John Fletcher, not included in the First or subsequent Folios.
