Richard Thompson's featured business- The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers
The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers www.ilab.org is a global network for the rare book trade. Today the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers unites 22 national associations, representing 33 countries, under one roof. ILAB affiliates share a worldwide reputation for high quality, knowledge, expertise and experience.
After eight years with essentially the same website, we at ILAB have decided to give it a whole new look, with greatly improved and deeper content. It will have a far greater selection of what the ILAB website has always provided: the best rare books in the World, supplied by the World's best rare booksellers. Over the coming months you will see a great variety of news articles, bookseller interviews and scholarly pieces being added to the site, so look for new additions almost daily. Our official launch will be on 1st January 2010.
One major innovation is our new search engine for rare books. We now search our dealers' inventory using a variety of commercial sites where our dealers show their books. This means that you will be able to buy your books direct from the dealer or choose to buy it from the same dealer through one of your favourite sites, shown on a list with the book description.
In the meantime, tell us what you'd like to see on an ILAB website. Feel free to send an email to our web editor, and suggest and submit articles of interest to the rare book community or other suggestions.
