55th Chicago Book and Paper Fair - June 11

Did anyone else attend the 54th Chicago Book and Paper Fair on June 11, 2016?

I was fortunate to attend the Fair and also make it to the Printer's Row Lit Fest on the same day.

I missed both of them, which is probably a good thing, considering the piles of books on the floor.

Where's the Book & Paper Fair held, and who sponsors?

>3 elenchus:

It's held at the Plumbers' Union Hall on W. Washington, near Ogden (sounds weird, I know, but a lot of events happen there). It's put on by the Midwest Antiquarian Booksellers Association.

A-hah! I found the link.

I really must make one of these events soon. But clearly my priorities haven't shifted so as to allow it. There's always something else going on that I choose to do instead.

Send an email to the Book Fair coordinator at chicagobookfair2014@gmail.com, and they will send you an e-mail reminder of the event for next year.

They will also probably send you an e-mail for free admission to the event - they have done so for me for the past few years.
