Spent about two hours at the book fair, which is all I could take - but this is the small one - only about sixty dealers there.  The upcoming February fair will have over two hundred dealers.  Still, I hung out with some dealer friends, did a couple of little trade deals and got some fun books, and then I was done.  Considering how few dealers were there, there were some surprisingly good books there - all way overpriced, of course, and they won't sell, but it's always fun to look at pretty copies of collectible books.  The ever-present actor Michael Lerner was there - I have yet to attend an LA book fair where he wasn't in attendance.
