This year’s Printers Row Lit Fest poster.

Tote!

A snapshot from the “Chicago’s Multicultural Pioneers” panel.

Another shot from the “Chicago’s Multicultural Pioneers” panel.

Printers Row attendees milling about.

Visitors poke through tables of books.

Rows of tents.

Two Chicago publishers: Puddin’ Head Press on the far
left and RHINO on the far right.

Looking toward the loop.

I think I freaked this guy out while trying to take
a photo of the UCP booth.

Here’s UCP.

I take a photo of Powell’s tent at Printers Row.
Random guy gets angry.

My one purchase of the day: a 1950s hardback copy
of “As I Lay Dying” from Open Books, a used bookstore that
donates their profits to charity.

An here it is!

Columbia College made an appearance at the lit fest,
selling copies of a few of their publications including Hairtrigger,
their literary journal.

C-Span2 filmed the events at the Printers Row Lit Fest
(and got a great parking spot for doing so).
