Final day, pack up and off...

Today was the last day of the fair. It was just a great weekend all around. Some great sales, some great buying and just a ton of people through the door. Another dealer told me that that he counted bodies through the door and was north of 160 on the Friday opening before there was a "break" in the flow.

Aidan was good helper at the show and had a good time. Even managed to find a very cool book on how printing presses work that he picked up as a reward of exemplary work. Pictures of the booth and boy will follow (when I get a cable).

The promoters were great. The venue is outstanding (was originally a big band hall). I was watching the Discovery Channel in the hotel room and was rather stunned to see a 30 second spot for the book fair. Pipe and drape on the booths, two nice pole lights in every booth. Did I mention that booths $450. Why can't other promoters pull off events like this?

We picked up the rental car and have made it across the state to my in-laws. Tomorrow will likely be a balance of cataloguing some books in preparation of a meeting on Tuesday and pool time. I hope others had as fun a weekend.
