Had some fun as I attended the 52nd California International Antiquarian Book Fair. It is always amazing to see these great books and artifacts up close and in person and learn more about the them. It is something that a book lover like me enjoys. Even though everything is out of my price range (All the books are first edition unless noted)

The California International Antiquarian Book Fair only comes to Oakland every two years. It is something that I always look forward to.
Sold leafs, that was enterprising. I might have had a hard time ripping it apart. Lots of great books here, I think I'd spend extra time with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Dracula. Loving the Thurber drawing as well, used to copy him as a kid. I do wonder about taking photos, was it okay as long as you didn't use a flash?
