 | New Arrival & Boston Virtual Book Fair-November 15, 2021 This week we are featuring new arrivals of books (a few that rarely cross my path), including many fine supernatural titles (some classics), several mysteries, a few digests and some other interesting items.
The ABAA VIRTUAL BOOK FAIR: BOSTON EDITION starts Thursday, November 18 at noon EST and will be open continously until Saturday, November 20 at 8pm EST. Admission is free to all. I will be offering a fine selection of science fiction and fantasy books that are new to my stock. Other book fair news is that the California International Book Fair will now take place in person February 11-13, 2022, in Oakland at the Oakland Marriot City Center.
And finally, April 21-24, 2022, the New York International Book Fair returns in person to the Park Avenue Armory. So, if all goes well, we are on the way back to great in person book fairs. Many of you have been able to visit smaller shows around the country and we hope to see you at the ABAA fairs. Shipping news: USPS is currently not shipping to Australia
