You may not find these books in the front window at Barnes and Noble, but trust me, they're worth looking for. Sometimes you have to look a little harder to really find the gems. Remember, what we don't support, we will lose. Don't let the big boys control what you read. And speaking of finding gems, the annual Small Press Book Fair will be held on Saturday, March 25, from 10 to 6 and Sunday, March 26 from 11 to 5.
Admission is free.
This is a fantastic chance to see books you simply will not find elsewhere. Small presses don't have big advertising budgets. Every time I attend this fair, I discover another amazing press. In addition, for Dorothy Parker fans, the Algonquin Hotel is right across the street. A good place to look for more information on many interesting small presses is Consortium Book Sales and Distribution, a company that distributes and cares about small presses.
