A book Fair on the west coast here, which I won't

it could get me in hot water had $250,000 in theft during the first
day they were in their meeting hall. This was all before the doors
opened to the public.
The theft level declined after the public was let in.
I mention this just as a point of reference. I am glad that the collector
group that attends VCF is not apparently composed of rare book
dealers.
Yeha, me too.
Sheesh.
