Our long-awaited Virtual Rare Book Showcase is underway. Bibliophiles from around the world are already taking part. You can also join them no matter where on the planet you may happen to be. There are no tickets or admission fees. There are no insiders and no one can stand ahead of you while waiting in a rainy queue. Crowded stands cannot obstruct you while you sit at your desk or in your arm chair with your favourite beverage close at hand.

When you participate in a viaLibri virtual showcase you will discover several new and useful book hunting tools that you have not encountered before. For example:

- Browse all available items together in a single list.
- Mark all your favourite sellers and browse them together as a single sorted list.
- If you search one day and come back on another the showcase will remember your favourites and let you search for them again.
- Searchable category stems.
- Flexible, unlimited photos.
- Pick from almost 2,000 categories to match your unique interests.
- Our Libribot will search the Showcase for your permanent wants.
