AE's Book Fair Calendar Goes Live!

Anyone can propose an event for inclusion in the Book Fair calendar using the Submit a New Book Fair Listing links on either the Events Calendar or the separate Book Fair List. The calendar will always open to the present month with links to future and past months provided in the page header.

Events need not be large although they often will be. On the first there is a fair in Lansing, Michigan, beginning on the 4th a five-day buying opportunity in Germany, on the 6th and 7th a book fair in Ohio at Case Western Reserve, and in nearby Cuyahoga Falls a print fair the 6th to the 8th. The Seattle Antiquarian Book Fair October 14th and 15th is attracting great west coast attention. All these events are listed as are many others.

Events that AE's listing members participate in will be included in the calendar and linked to their inventory. The goal on AE from the beginning has been to build a strong online community of buyers and sellers who share an interest and appreciation for antiquarian and collectible materials. This is another step in that direction.
