So, it's that time of year again when rare book sellers gather down at the Seattle Center (the old World's Fair fairgrounds) to offer up an amazing array of collectables --anything from a Kelmscott Chaucer or copies of WEIRD TALES through local-interest booths and first editions of THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

These past few years I've been working at downsizing my collection, not adding to it, which calls for a whole different mindset. But it's still quite an experience just to browse. And I still occasionally at the end of the day carry away a book, particularly if it's something I'd been looking for a long time.
We'll see how it goes this time.

I hope you have a nice time!
ReplyDeleteTurns out I was't able to make it in the end. Oh well; I'll try again next year. After all I really shd be hunting down those last few Dunsany books I don't have access to that I really shd reread. --JDR
