Well, between the Shadow Show at the Hilton and the Big One at the Hynes, it was quite a weekend. Record crowds, plenty of buyers – including the younger set, solid institutional presence and, of course, our dealer friends from around the world.
It’s amazing any books survived the feeding frenzy, but somehow a few managed to not get bought.
And here they are, Sunday’s Children, storm-tossed refugees, lonely tomes looking for homes.
Don’t disappoint them, folks!
