Three London Book Fairs over 8 days

Three London Book Fairs over 8 days

For folks in the Midwest there is the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Book Fair. This is a sprawling two day affair in Chicago that includes programs and events, 148 exhibitors and a great poster for ephemera collectors. On AE we provide continuing calendars both for book fairs as a list and in traditional calender form. It is the easiest way to follow the sequence of scheduled events. Headings in the calendars link to full details that promoters can periodically update as events are refined and the roster of those attending fills in.
