At this year’s four-day event, thousands of books, including collector’s items, will be available at bargain prices. This year’s event includes both a Thursday night, when the museum remains open until 8 p.m., and a Free First Sunday.
Selections include books on Asian art, history, literature, religion, culture, cooking, novels, travel, textiles, jewelry, and more. This year’s rarities include a large
collection of books on Korean and Japanese art and culture, all in English. All books were donated by members and friends of the Society for Asian Art.
The Society for Asian Art Book Sale has raised more than $160,000 for the Asian Art Museum’s C. Laan Chun Library, one of the most comprehensive research libraries on Asian art and culture in the country.
