As you may or may not already know, Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, the Alternative Press Center, Wooden Shoe Books, and the Brian MacKenzie Infoshop are collaborating on perhaps the biggest radical bookfair to ever hit the Mid-Atlantic region. We've got a three day program packed with amazing speakers and workshops, and plans for two floors jammed full of bookstores, publishers, zinesters, and other rabble-rousers.
The Bookfair is set to start on the evening of June 30th(Friday) and will run all day on July 1st and 2nd(Saturday and Sunday), at CENTERSTAGE, a wonderful theater building at 700 N. Calvert St., in Baltimore's Mt. Vernon neighborhood.

We're still working out the exact schedule, but here's a list of some of the people we are certain will be giving talks or holding workshops(and we're still adding more every day!):
For updated lists and details about the presenters, check the bookfair website.
The bookfair is being run on an all volunteer basis, and entirely on donations and tabling fees. If you'd like to help us pay for all of this, Red Emma's is happy to take donations: br />
http://redemmas.org/help.shtml, just let us know it's for the bookfair
More importantly, we're really hoping to get a lot of help from the mid-atlantic community in helping us out the weekend of the bookfair. If you're interested in helping out with staffing the bookfair, or with pitching in to help Food Not Bombs serve up some delicious free food during the Bookfair weekend, drop us a line at bookfair@redemmas.org. We're also looking really hard for places in or near Baltimore to house all these people coming from out of town to present or table, so if you have some space to share, talk to our housing committee at bookfairhousing@redemmas.org.
Yours for a well-read revolution,
