Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Austria
- Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Austria
The Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Austria, formed in 1949, includes those Austrian antiquarian booksellers who exclusively or primarily buy and sell antiquarian books, magazines, prints, autograph letters or music.
The members of the Association submit themselves to the Austrian version of the "Rules, Customs and Usages" of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers to which the Austrian Association is affiliated. The ILAB [http://www.ilab.org/organisation/codeofethics.php code of ethics] defines how commercial transactions are to be conducted between Austrian and foreign antiquarian booksellers and also between professionals and individuals.
The Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Austria has hosted the biennial ILAB congress three times, the last in 1998. The Association has also hosted the annual President's Meeting several times.
