Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair

Jay Platt of West Side Book Shop in Ann Arbor provided a table for the Book Club of Detroit (BCD) at yesterday’s Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair which Jay has organized for decades (proceeds go to U of M’s Clements Library.) BCD volunteers met quite a few prospective new members and had fun meeting up with fellow bibliophiles. Several of our member book dealers had booths at this excellent, well-attended show.
