The\u00a0event featured books, prints, broadsides, cards and other bookish delights. A fascinating exhibit\u00a0of antique typewriters was also on site, for attendees&#8217; viewing pleasure. Three cheers for Don McLeod, for once again lending his photography talents.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_351\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-351\" class=\"size-large wp-image-351\" src=\"http:\/\/devilsartisan.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bound_book_arts_fair_01-480x320.jpg\" alt=\"Bird's eye view of Bound Book Art's Fair\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"http:\/\/devilsartisan.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bound_book_arts_fair_01-480x320.jpg 480w, http:\/\/devilsartisan.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bound_book_arts_fair_01-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/devilsartisan.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bound_book_arts_fair_01-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/devilsartisan.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/bound_book_arts_fair_01.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bird&#8217;s eye view of the fair.
