This book fair was not vigorously promoted in the newspaper, but we found it at the Wimberley Community Center. Right off, we need to say that this was one of the best book fairs that we have attended in this area--or anywhere for that matter.
There were about 50 authors present and had the presentation of their work well organized. Most of the authors were middle age or older. Many authors focused on fiction and about the same number on children's books. There were a few who wrote "historical fiction", but not nearly as many as wrote pure fiction. One author wrote small format travel guides of Texas. These might be classified as non fiction, but except for this one author, there were no non fiction authors.
We bought two books, one from author Bob Doerr and the other from Larry Lee Farmer. Larry was an interesting salesman for his four books on display. He told of his wanderings along the hippie trail in the 1970s. He said the hippie trail was just like a trail of fireants as they course back and forth to a water or food supply. He said the hippie trail wandered all over the warm part of the globe. His book on the experiences of his sister in the middle east should be interesting.
Oops, forgot to take pictures we were so interested in the authors.
