Earlier this month I went to the San Francisco Antiquarian Book, Print and Paper Fair. It is one of smaller shows but it was really cool to see things (All of the books are first editions):
 |
| Can be yours for $12,000 |
 |
| These were books for tweens printed in the 1940's |
 |
| Printed a year after it sank |
There was a dealer there that had some pretty cool autographs:
 |
| President James Monroe |
 |
| President Theodore Roosevelt |
But the coolest thing there was this letter from Martin Luther King to the Dean of the Boston University Graduate School asking about housing. The neat this is that the letter was written before anybody knew of King:
The San Francisco Antiquarian Book, Print and Paper Fair might have been a little small in size but it had some really nice stuff.
I love books and was interested in the fair but you won my heart with the MLK letter. What a great find.
