Book Fair Kills, Part 1.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s February.

Not only is it the month of love, but this is also the one month of the year when there are not one or two book fairs in the Oklahoma area, but THREE altogether. As I’ve done in the past, I’m going to list the finds (or “kills,” as I like to refer to them, as if I’m a Book Hunter) for your amusement and delight.

Yesterday I attended the first of the three, the Casady Book Fair in central Oklahoma City. It’s one of the smaller book fairs I go to, but always enjoyable. The strange part is when I arrive to wait in line for the preview night, I always see the same 70 people that I saw last year. And the year before. We’re an odd breed, dedicated to finding new books, some for personal enjoyment and others for resale value. I’d say the majority were there to find and resell their nuggets. Me? I’m pickin’ ‘em all for me, baby. (Except for any that I pick up with Kyler or Kim in mind…)
