 I visited the Rose City Book Fair last Saturday. I didn't take my video camera because I wasn't planning on making a video or even a report about it, but I ended up taking so many interesting and entertaining pictures I wanted to tell you about it. One of the first things I spotted after I walked in the door was this copy of Strange Tales of Mystery featuring this Clark Ashton Smith story, The Hunters from Beyond. I made a special video just about this cover and I'll put the link here. I learned about it from the guys at hppodcraft.com. It was great fun to make that video. And then I walked down to another booth and saw these interesting things here. This is by John Quincy Adams. There was a great box full of amazing stories magazines. And this signed copy of Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human. That's something that I need to get around to reviewing someday. Damn everything but the circus. The owner here told me that he doesn't believe Corita Kent invented that phrase, but I've heard it before. I wonder where it came from. A lot of dealers here had tiny books. Apparently that's a trend. And this guy had a little tray full of the tiniest books that I'd seen. There's this one called Ye Curse up in the corner. But then he showed me this. He pulled out this little drawer out of this little fake book. And that little black book in the drawer is not the smallest book you're looking at here. Let's zoom in on this little round chamber here. Yeah, there's a microscopic book in there. Wow. And right below that tray was the biggest book in the place. Frankenstein Unbound. That's one I've never read. Thrilling Wonder Stories. Tarzan and the Lightning Man. Not an Edgar Rice Burroughs story. And some sort of Robert E. Howard self-published fanzine or something with original stories by Robert E. Howard. A lot of interesting little self-published things here. Medea, Harlan's World. UFOs and Oz. Don't ask me. I don't know. This is a gigantic German Bible with metal clasps. The Norby stories of Isaac Asimov or something I've never read. There's some HP Lovecraft hardbacks and a rack full of old sci-fi and weird pulps. Yeah, there's some solar ponds stuff. This is apparently a script. An unused version from before the production. I had no idea there were Maxwell Smart mystery novels written. Apparently there were. Looks like a complete collection of Stephen King's Green Mile books. I didn't know this was a series of books. There's some Bookminster Fuller books. Some early original Mad magazines. This was impressive. Just some more fantastic covers. This shop owner asked me if I was familiar with James Tiptree Jr. and I said of course, Alice B. Sheldon. And he pulled out this book that was written by her parents about her when they took her on the safaris in Africa. Evidently that's her in the photo. And these drawings were by her. Lots of beautiful antique covers. I saw lots of interesting stuff. I bought a few things. I posted a photo on Tumblr and Twitter of a small stack of books that I bought but I spent less than $20. There were great bargains there too. If you liked this video, you'll like my other book-related travel logs. I've collected them into a playlist called Bookshop Adventures.
