The National Sporting Library & Museum's Duplicate Book Sale is an annual fundraiser for the Library's Acquisition Fund. The books sold are duplicates of items already in the library's collection. The book sale often includes items that are out of print and hard to find. The sale is run as a "silent auction" through the mail, allowing members of the National Sporting Library & Museum from around the world to participate.
