The admission charged to visitors of the event is used to help promote and market future book fairs. As one of the countries oldest continually running regional book fairs we’ve found that promotion is the main way we are able to continue building interest and awareness in the event. This, in turn, allows us to attract more dealers from across the country.

This is completely up to each dealer and forms of payment accepted may change booth to booth. The three most used forms of payment are: cash, check, and credit card.

The Dome Arena ensures that their venue is handicap accessible to the public. There are dedicated handicap parking spaces and no stairs to navigate.

The Dome Arena has hundreds of parking spaces which will be open and available to use. Signs will be posted outside which will help guide you to the closest parking and entrance to the fair. Handicap parking is also available.

We kindly ask that all personal books be left at home or in your car. We do not allow books to be brought into the event venue. If you are interested in selling materials to specific exhibitors, you may speak with them and arrange a time outside of the event to do so. We reserve the right to refuse admission or hold these materials at the admissions table while you attend the event. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

At this time the Rochester Antiquarian Book Fair does not offer public appraisal of books and ephermera. While we understand (and share!) a love for books and a curiosity to know their value we do not allow books to be brought into the event venue by patrons. If you are interested in having materials appraised by specific exhibitors, you may speak with them and arrange a time outside of the event to do so. We reserve the right to refuse admission or hold these materials at the admissions table while you attend the event. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
