Boston ABAA book fair weekend has begun...

Sorry for my delay in posting...it has been a wildly chaotic few weeks, culminating in this very weekend. I have spent the last five days "elder sitting", at a 700+ lot auction (requiring serious preview time), running the bi-annual MABA meeting, coordinating/attending this month's Baxter Society meeting and...you know...preparing and packing for my very first ABAA book fair. It has been a very chaotic week or so. To top it off, I seem to be fighting off a cold (successfully, thus far).

I managed to get some last minute additions catalogued and ready for the fair. My personal favorite is a copy of the Robert Frank/Zero Mostel "Zero Mostel Reads a Book" fabulously inscribed by Mostel. We left at a reasonable hour this morning and arrived at the hotel around 1pm. They "upgraded" us at check out to a very large room with all the bells and whistles. Proscrastination occasionally pays off. I only bothered to book a room about a week ago or so...We are at a Sheraton with a pool, free wireless and what appears to be a good on-sight Japanese grill/sushi restaurant for $74/night....now with a nice huge room. It could be worse for a few nights stay...

Am off momentarily to visit with some clients and then to drop off my boxes, et al at the Hynes Center. Set-up starts tomorrow morning...fair starts in the late afternoon. This is the first real bellweather fair...I hope it goes well. We shall see.
