Toronto Small Press Book Fair June 19

Really excited to announce the next Toronto Small Press Book Fair will be Saturday, June 19, 2010, at the lovely historic Great Hall (1087 Queen Street West). The Fair will be free to the public & run 11am to 5pm.

Participants' full tables cost a low $30. and half-tables are (logically enough) $15.

We're currently getting our website remodeled, so the pdf registration form isn't up there yet. So...to register please send us an email at torontosmallpressfairgroup@gmail.com and we'll send you the form. Please note that, as with previous fairs, this event registration is first come, first served, because there's limited space. (until we start holding the Fair in the TARDIS, this will continue to be an issue!)

Thanks & see you on June 19th!
