I wish I could have been there! I finally completed my collection of early printings of the first Tom Swift series, and am now reading through them. City of Gold- my absolute favorite, and the book that got me into the series, and antique book collecting in general.
I read the second series as a kid, at least the first twenty-one novels. Loved the series, but never picked up the later series. Don't know that I can make it to the convention, but maybe I can catch the exhibit while I'm in SD for the Comic-con. Nice overview! Thanks.
@sachaput Since many people attend Comic-Con from at least Wednesday through Sunday, we timed our event to be the weekend before in case people wanted to arrive early for TS100. The convention hotel rate (Sheraton Mission Valley) is pretty good if you mention "Tom Swift Convention" for the days of TS100 and a little before and after. If you can make it, please do so. Help spread the word about this event (and video).
