Chestertown Old Book Co.
Rare & Antiquarian Books
& Fine Press Publishers
Each year, three dozen colleges and universities hosted
book-collecting contests for their students. Since Swarthmore
College held the first competition in the 1920s, these
contests have encouraged generations of young collectors
to become booksellers, librarians, and accomplished bibliophiles.
The publisher and editor of Fine Books & Collections support
these young collectors and their college libraries. We are,
therefore, proud to host the Collegiate
Book Collecting Championship. The top three winners
receive cash prizes and a donation to their library will
be made in their name.
