I am always on the lookout to find something to feed my need for constant stimulation. I have other things planned for this weekend, (including bringing a new guitar home to displace it’s predecessor, an antiques fair and a Superbowl party) but for those who find themselves still looking for something to do with their two days of freedom from corporate slavery, I give you San Francisco Antiquarian Book, Print, & Paper Fair. This looks like just the thing to warm the heart of any bibliophile in the Bay Area.
This fair has been in existence since 1979 and generally draws between 120 and 180 different vendors. If I was not already committed for the entire weekend, you would find me carefully perusing each and every vendor stall searching for first printings of Steinbeck and maybe another autographed treasure to add to my collection.
It is held at the San Francisco Concourse at 7th and Brennan streets this weekend, the 6th and 7th, 10-7 on Saturday and 10-5 on Sunday, and only $10. If nothing else it will be a nice place to pick up a few books for your stack and have some fun while staying out of the rain. It even looks BART-able from the Civic Center station.
I’m jealous to all of you out there who get to go, let me know if anyone is interesting in a guest blogger piece.
Feel free to share the treasures I missed out on.
