Our guest is Jay Platt, a friend of the show and owner of Ann Arbor’s landmark West Side Book Shop. Jay will spotlight the 38th Annual Ann Arbor Antiquarian Book Fair, which he organizes, taking place Sunday, May 22, from 11:00-5:00
p.m., in the Michigan Union Ballroom. Jay will describe the importance of the fair to our region, the myriad dealers from around the country who will be there, and a sampling of the kinds of rare books, maps, photographs, and ephemera that will be for sale. Don’t know what ‘ephemera’ is? You’d better tune in!
