Seattle Book and Paper Show

If you're among that small subset of the population who still has a little money and time to read, the Seattle Book and Paper Show takes place at Seattle Center this weekend, with some 60 booksellers, including many locals plus vendors from Germany, California, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, and Utah. Specialties include those stalls dealing in rare and unique books, manuscripts, maps, prints, first editions, signed documents, poetry, broadsides, posters, children's literature, and of course, "ephemera." Just $5 at the door to enter, and a promise of large numbers of beautiful things to buy for less than $20. This Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31, at the Seattle Center's Northwest rooms.
