“There is no telling what might show up,” the website had promised, and I wondered if they were referring to me as I shook off the rain.īut as I entered and saw the tables and tables full of old paperbacks, I knew I’d made the right decision. I’d never been, but my colleague Steven Rosenberg had tipped me to it. I was on a mission to visit the Los Angeles Vintage Paperback Collectors Show at the Glendale Civic Auditorium, which promised “tens of thousands of vintage paperbacks” along with authors Denise Hamilton, Tim Powers, Gary Phillips, Larry Niven and more. While the smart money was on a day of pajamas, Sunday papers and hot beverages, I’d decided to leave the great indoors for a cold downpour.
But this time it had more to do with avoiding puddles and keeping my clothes from soaking through. This is a question I often ask myself, rain or not.
The rain came down hard last Sunday, and I wondered whether I’d made the right decision.
