BUFFALO SMALL PRESS BOOK FAIR
REGISTRATION OPEN NOW!

2010 Buffalo Small Press Book Fair
Saturday, March 27, 2010
Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum

The Buffalo Small Press Book Fair is a regional one-day event that brings booksellers, authors, bookmakers, zinesters, small presses, artists, poets, and other cultural workers (and enthusiasts) together in a venue where they can share ideas, showcase their art, and peddle their wares. Over a thousand people have attended this fair in each of the first three years!

We're taking applications for vendors and sponsors.  We'd love to make this year's event the biggest one yet - so if you have wanted to vend and haven't, sign up!  Our online vendor application can be accessed here:

http://www.buffalosmallpress.org/participate/


If you have considered donating money before or being a sponsor, this is the year to do it!

http://www.buffalosmallpress.org/sponsor/

We look forward to hearing from everyone, and we'll be announcing workshop topics and poetry readings as the information becomes available.

Best,

Christopher Fritton
