PHILLY BOOK FAIR RETURNS!

Dear Folks, First let me thank you for your support of our events this weekend. In spite of very threatening skies and weather reports, Phillip Bennett and Friends played on and we ignored the few drops that fell and ejoyed some great music and raised $300 for Northwest Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network. Saturday, we had a good crowd of sellers and buyers and everyone seemed to go away happy. Yahoo!

I also want to remind you that we have an upscale anitquarian and collectible book fair back in the area. On this Friday, May 21, from 4 to 8 pm and this Saturday, May 22, from 9 am to 4 pm, 60 dealers in rare and unusual books of all ilks will convene for The Philadelphia Book & Ephemera Fair at the Philadelphia Expo Center, 100 Station Avenue, in Oaks, PA 19456. The admission is $6 which is very reasonable for this sort of event and if you bring this email they'll take $1 off. Youth 12-21 are $3 and kids under 12 are free.

There are sure to be some amazing and interesting books at this event including some unusual items that I'll be exhibiting. For instance I have some original photos made by William Rau of Pennsylvania Railroad engines and rolling stock from the 1890's. Rau is an internationally collected photographer and very important in Philadelphia photograpy. I also just came across a first edition, in German, of Hermann Hesse's Der Steppenwolf. Very cool. Goggle maps says its 34 minutes from my shop to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks and I printed out a map to get me to this new territory. You can get directions at http://www.phillyexpocenter.com/ . I hope to see you there. The store will be open, as usual, and a reminder that this is the last week of our 30% off sale on all books in the shop. Greg and Cynthia
