About Last Year...

Enjoyed the variety of vendors. The BookFest was interesting at all levels of the book genre - from book making to rare books to new.
Marian Nelson, exhibitor

Great job! I feel the festival works well. The size is right. The location is great. Another Ann Arbor
tradition is born.
Jay Platt, owner

The variety of vendors is really impressive, from printers to rare books, from organizations to hand binders, from libraries to book clubs, ther Kerrytown BookFest has it all.
