Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America in Stationery Business Directory

 

Our Guarantee, Since 1949, the ABAA has been promoting ethical standards and professionalism in the antiquarian book trade in America. ABAA also promotes these values internationally, through our affiliation with The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB).Here in America, ABAA has the strictest and most sweeping Ethics Code in the book trade, and all ABAA members are bound by it. The Ethics Code requires that all material offered for sale be authentic, be accurately described, and that a full cash refund, or other mutually agreeable settlement, be available to any purchaser for any item that is not. No other book trade organization can give that kind of guarantee, and ABAA backs it up with an Ethics Committee to hear any complaints against any of its members. We believe ABAA booksellers are the best in the business and have the best books, and we back that up with the best consumer protection. The ABAA at Fifty: Notes Toward a History of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America, by Edwin V. Glaser, Twenty Years as Legal Counsel, ABAAs legal counsel, Larry Fox, reflects on twenty years and counting with the organization.
