Special Event: Rochester Book Fair, Saturday, September 26
We are pleased to note that Rochester’s most excellent Book Fari will be held on Saturday the 26th, at the Dome Arena in Henrietta NY. Full information on the event can be found on this link. RABA. It has information on the vendors, site, hours, and even a reduced-price entry coupon.
Books & Fields will be present at the fair. The store will also be open on the 26th. Please note that we take books taken from the store shelves to stock our Fair display, and thus there will be some holes in the shelves on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th.
