“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!” -Jane Austen

Rare Books San Francisco returns on February 1-2, 2025 and brings with it a Regency era flare in celebration of the 250^th anniversary of the birth of revered English novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817).

With support from AbeBooks and KQED, this celebration of antiquarian books, rare maps, fine printing, ephemera, and artist’s books will take in the Gateway Pavilion at Fort Mason and for the first time, will include a selection of independent writers, artists, and creators curated by San Francisco Zine Fest.
