Guillermo Del Toro in conversation with Ken Sanders: Frankenstein
Frankenstein!

Join Academy Award–winning filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro in conversation with antiquarian bookseller Ken Sanders. This exclusive event is hosted by Netflix in association with Rare Books LA and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, benefiting the Los Angeles Public Library, including the long-term recovery of the LAPL Palisades Branch destroyed in the January fires. Del Toro is sharing scenes from his highly anticipated adaptation of the 1818 Mary Shelley classic.

“Mary Shelley’s masterpiece is rife with questions that burn brightly in my soul: existential, tender, savage, doomed questions that only burn in a young mind and only adults and institutions believe they can answer. For me, only monsters hold the secrets I long for.” -Guillermo Del Toro

For those unable to attend the fundraiser, Rare Books LA is offering a Frankenstein Fundraiser ticket for $40, which includes two-day admission to the book fair, a movie poster, and a limited-edition bookmark from Netflix, as well as an entry into a drawing to win a pair of tickets for the Hollywood premiere of the film in October. 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Library.

With support from AbeBooks, more than 50 exhibitors from London, New York, and everywhere in between will fill the Ticket Concourse at LA Union Station on October 4-5, 2025, with an electrifying array of first editions and other historical material.

6pm – Doors Open
6:45pm – Welcome Remarks
7pm – Guillermo Del Toro in conversation with Ken Sanders

Tickets are $250 and patrons receive a movie poster, bookmark, and a pair of tickets for Rare Books LA Union Station.
