Dearborn Street Book Fair

Over 30 authors and artists set up their tables on February 20th in the center of downtown for the Dearborn Street Book Fair. The event was the brainchild of James Abraham, Shelly Stout and Diana Harris and by all standards it was a rousing success. Hundreds of people showed up to mingle with the authors, discuss their books and in some cases make a purchase. A few sprinkles of rain started the group clearing their tables but the rain was over before they could complete the task and the sun came out.

Below is a selection of some of the authors with information about them. To enlarge the picture simply click on it.
