Day One, Two and after...
[Day 1] The show was very nice. A good number of seemingly interested and engaged visitors. Lots of minor things seem to be moving and a reasonable number of bigger items. Mind you, not from me
I did manage to find a great set of 57 of the 64 Rivers of America series...all first editions and all in very nice DJs. Pretty much made the day. Oh...and a nice copy of Sweet Dreams by Twelvetree Press (many pictures of dead people).
[just realized I did not post this last night...so just added]
[Day Two] Started nicely with a breakfast courtesy of of the SE Chapt. of the ABAA. Another strong crowd of interested humans. A handful of nice sales...interestingly, including the lovely copy of Sweet Dreams I had purchased the day before. It was innocently sitting on the chair, where I had been reading it, when it was snapped up by a new and interesting client.
I bought more good stuff...it really has been a good buying show. Picked up a great set of all three of the Wrightson portfolios of Frankenstein. Have my eye on some other material. We shall see.
The end of the day was great. A young couple, engaged and interested. "We're not collectors"....shortly after telling me that they are converting a bedroom to a library to make room for their books . I love young collectors.
Dinner for the third night in a row at the tapas place. Pitcher of their wonderful sangria outside. Life could be much worse.
