Anais Nin Trust Bookstore

The Anaïs Nin Trust is, for a limited time, offering books from the library of Anaïs Nin’s and Rupert Pole’s fabled Silver Lake house.

Some of these titles will be on sale at the 2010 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25. Titles include first editions of Nin titles from publishers around the world, some of which are rare and vintage. Each book’s provenance will be authenticated. Books present in the library during the time Anaïs Nin lived in the house (until her death in 1977) will be further documented.

Virtually every english Nin title will be present, as well as some foreign titles, and prices range from a few dollars on up, depending upon the book’s condition and publishing history. Titles will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis both online and at the booth. This is a rare opportunity for Nin fans and book collectors alike. Most of the book collection will be at booth #656 in Zone F, from 10-6 Saturday and 10-5 Sunday.
