anny, i wish you were there! sipping coffees while exploring books from booth to booth! wanna go next year? i am saving money to go next year, not as exhibitor but as visitor. Accommodation can be arranged with our local who stayed there; only about 50 euro. Let me know if you are interested. But we go 2 or 3 days only la; one day for the fair, two more days to venice or firenze!
I so wanted to stick my stuff on the wall and go from booth to booth showing my portfolio!!!!
