Antiquarian Book Fair (Los Angeles)

It snuck up on me. It's this weekend.

The 41st California International Antiquarian Book Fair
The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel
2025 Avenue of the Stars
Los Angeles, CA 90067

Saturday, February 16, 2008 11 am to 7 pm
Sunday, February 17, 2008 11 am to 5 pm

$10

A few years back, the show had an SF/F theme and it was stupendo-awesome. Even when genre is not the theme, it's still amazing. You can count on first editions of Dracula, the Hobbit, Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone, etc. alongside firsts of Newton's Principia, Vesalius' anatomy and tasty incunabula. If the smell of musty books turns you on, you must go.
