July 2017-PULPFEST

The weekend of July 27-30 Lloyd Currey and I attended Pulpfest held in Cranberry, Pa, a northern suburb of Pittsburgh. A thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable low-key show. The dealer’s room was well represented with many interesting pulps, books, magazines and much more. One of the very nice things about the show was how relaxed it was, good conversations were held about collecting, pulps, books, etc. This show largely has “old-timers” on the dealer’s room floor, but the amount of knowledge available is vast, and most love to talk. You never know who may turn up at a show like this, Saturday afternoon Jim Steranko, veteran pulp collector, stopped by our table to chat and make a few purchases. In addition to the Windy City show, which we highly recommend, this show made for a very pleasant week-end. We purchased a number of interesting items that will be coming to our new arrivals sections soon.

Our next show for both Lloyd and myself will be the Boston Antiquarian Book Fair, held at the Hynes Convention center in Boston on November 10-12.
