Boston has an antiquarian book fair the next weekend (the 11th-13th, IIRC), and there is another ephemera-related event on the 12th. A collector friend and I were lucky enough to get free passes. -- Jean B. |

The Long Island bookfair is held twice a year, normally pretty close to the same weekends. I posted it here in case anyone might be interested, though it will be the first time in at least ten years I have *not* gone. The new location is not easily accessible from New York City unless you have a car. I checked Googtle and mta.info, and both told me it would take at least two hours, maybe 2-1/2 hours each way by public transportation. That takes a lot of the fun out of it... |

It sounds like they may miss many people who attended in the past. For your sake, I hope they reconsider the location after the upcoming event. -- Jean B. |

Awesome! I think we may be participating long distance as we have lots of products for books and ephemera. I wish we could go, but I think our catalogs will be there. We also have video HOW TO's on book and paper repair on our website.
I hope it's a great show! |

Well, I went after all. I sat down and calculated the times involved,
and I thought they might not be as bad as the online sources suggested. (Going took just over two hours; coming home was faster.) I walked from the Hempstead train station to the university, which took just about half an hour--I don't know what a cab would have cost, but there's also a bus, which only runs every half hour. The new space is nice, though not well enough lit. A lot of dealers had extra lamps, so you could see their wares. With 38 dealers, the room was full. I took my time walking around, and scoped things out before I made my first purchase. As it turned out, I got six books, more than I often buy at this fair: OF WORLDS BEYOND, a “symposium” edited by Lloyd Eshbach, featuring articles by E.E. Smith, L. Sprague deCamp, and A.E. vanVogt. Originally published here in 1947, this British edition was the first in Dobson’s “Studies in Science Fiction” series. $8. LEWIS CARROLL & HIS ILLUSTRATORS, edited by Morton Cohen and Edward Wakeling, contains all the letters Carroll wrote to the men who did the artwork for his books (the best known being John Tenniel). $25 IT HAPPENED IN BOSTON?, a supernatural thriller by Russell H. Greenan. As it was marked down from $25 to $15, I took the opportunity to replace my book club copy with this first printing. KEYSTONE, Peter Lovesey’s historical mystery about the Mack Sennett film studio. British first, marked down from $30 to $15. THE HEADS OF CERBERUS, famous fantasy story by Francis Stevens, introduction by Lloyd Eshbach (see above). This copy is volume one of the Polaris Fantasy Library (1952); limited edition of 1500 copies. (Apparently there were only two in this series!) A few tiny chips to the dust jacket spine, otherwise still fine in a slightly worn slipcase. $10!!! ENGLAND BEAUTIFUL, one of Wallace Nutting’s pictorial travelogues. This is the Garden City Publishing reprint (1936) of the 1928 original. Even though it’s the “cheap” edition, the photos are still quite nice, and this Anglophile was happy to fork over $35 for this terrific copy, complete with a really nice dust jacket. (It was a Christmas present in ‘36, according to a pencil inscription...) |
