[Rarebooks] The Albany Book Fair Is Back Nov, 26, 2017

[Garry R Austin]

Albany Book Fair

It is my great pleasure to announce that the Albany Book Fair is back 
after a two year hiatus! The Albany Institute of History & Art is once 
again our sponsor. This year's fair will be held November 26, 2017 at 
the Polish Community Center, 225 Washington Avenue Ext. Albany NY.

The PCC is a well known destination and is home to a number of events, 
the DAR Antique Show; the Albany Stamp & Coin Show, the Train Show and a 
myriad of other well established, well attended fairs & shows. You will 
find their exhibition space more akin to a hotel ballroom, carpeted, 
well-lit and without any stairs or other impediments to hinder your 
set-up. There is a well regarded restaurant specializing in Polish 
cuisine but with a wide array of offerings. They have a private lot with 
ample parking and an electronic marquis along the street that will 
annouce the fair weeks in advance.

Please consult your enclosed info sheet for set-up and show times, booth 
sizes and fees. Move-in should be hassle-free with easy access to 
exhibition space from the private parking lot. We will have porters 
available for your use. Our show equipment provider will make available 
both counter and wall display cases and pegboard units on a rental 
basis. We will provide you with a price sheet directly from them.

The Albany Community has always embraced the book fair and we expect 
another solid gate of eager visitors. Once again we will be well 
represented as an Underwriter of WAMC Radio, The NPR organ that blankets 
the entire Hudson Valley, the Capital District, the Southern 
Adirondacks, Western Massachusetts and Vermont. Print ads will appear in 
the Albany area newspapers. We will maintain both an Albany Book Fair 
website & a Facebook Page, Please "Like Us" on Facebook.

We will try to honor any reasonable request to make this show a more 
pleasurable experience for you. We are available for your questions at 
our shop at 802 464-8438, or you may e-mail us at any time.
