The historic Old Stone House will be hosting the fourth annual Brooklyn Holiday Book Fair on December 5, chock-full of rare, vintage, and out-of-print literary tomes offered by independent bookshops and antiquarian booksellers from Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Cobble Hill, Sheepshead Bay, Midwood, and other locations in the world’s greatest borough. The participating shops are Antifurniture, Archestratus Books, Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare, Brooklyn Books, Enchanted Books, Freebird Books, Honey & Wax Booksellers, Joe Maynard, Terrace Books, Tom Davidson, and Faenwyl Bindery. This year’s special guest is Sacramento-born Brooklynite Adrian Tomine (Shortcomings, New York Drawings), who will be signing copies of Killing and Dying (Drawn & Quarterly, October 2015, $22.95) from 12 noon to 1:00. This is a great place to do some holiday shopping; of course, any way you can avoid buying books through Amazon is always strongly encouraged.
