    Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize 2023 Winners

    by Editor Sep 19, 2023 5 minutes

    In 2017, Honey & Wax Booksellers established an annual prize for American women book collectors, aged 30 years and younger. Our goal, at the time, was to expand the popular perception of who book collectors are (and can be) by highlighting original collections built by young women, often without the knowledge or help of the rare book trade. By celebrating their achievements, we hoped to inspire potential collectors to look at their shelves differently, to identify patterns and projects, to think creatively about the aspects of the historical record they might recognize and preserve.

    The response to this prize over the past seven years has exceeded all of our expectations. We are inspired by our contestants, and delighted to announce the $1000 winner of the 2023 Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize.
