Chapter 473 What Sold and What Didn’t Sell at the Book Fair, Or, You Never Can Predict

The popular:

The kitschy:

And the absurd.

20th century children’s picture books:

Here’s what did not sell:

The antiquarian:

The beautiful:

The colorful:

The sensational (though for some odd reason, there was a good deal of interest in this one):

I’ll be interested to see what sells at the Sacramento Book Fair. You never can tell ahead of time which items will be popular each year. If you’re going to be an antiquarian bookseller, you better have a good eye for all of it.

See you in the stacks!
