If you happen to be in the WNY or Southern Ontario area (like me!) don’t miss the 2010 Buffalo Small Press Book Fair Saturday March 27th. The Buffalo Small Press Book Fair is a regional one day event that brings booksellers, authors, bookmakers, zinesters, small presses, artists, poets, and other cultural workers (and enthusiasts) together in a venue where they can share ideas, showcase their art, and peddle their wares. There’s a Kickstarter fundraising page to help defray the costs.
The event is being held in the Karpeles Manuscript Library. The Karpeles Library is the world’s largest private holding of important original manuscripts & documents. The archives include Literature, Science, Religion, History and Art. Among the treasures are …. “The original draft of the Bill of Rights of the United States”, The original manuscript of ” The Wedding March”, Einstein’s description of his ” Theory of Relativity”, The ” Thanksgiving Proclamation” signed by George Washington, Roget’s ” Thesaurus”, Webster’s ” Dictionary” and over one million more.
