As you may have noticed, I have a fascination for vintage books, magazines, posters and ephemera. Not only there’s a unique quality in the tactile side of the printed word, but it’s curious to learn and compare the design and art direction aspect as well. If you are like me, then the yearly Allentown Paper Show in Allentown, PA is just for you. For over 50 years, the show has presented the finest in paper collectibles: rare books, antique postcards, advertising materials, movie and pop culture memorabilia, sports memorabilia, vintage photographs, comic books, and more.














Aspen Magazine, one of the boldest and most notorious ventures in commercial magazine publishing. Each issue, guest edited and generally focused on a single movement within culture and art, is an assortment of loose pamphlets, booklets, posters, film, and other ephemera housed in a box or a folder.

Asia, an American magazine that featured reporting about Asia and its people in the 1920s and 1930s
