June will be coming around soon and around the middle of that month is when dealers and collectors gather in Portland for the annual Rose City Book and Paper Fair. The exact dates this year, which coincide with a Saturday and Sunday, are June 13-14. Hours both days are 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
 

The fair is put on by the Cascade Booksellers Association. Cascade is a group of booksellers from Oregon and Washington State. However, the fair attracts dealers and attendees from Cali to the south, Canada to the north, and various states to the east that never feel the ocean breezes. The site of the fair is Portland. The exact location will be familiar to previous fairgoers as it has been held there many times before. It's held at the Double Tree Hilton.

DoubleTree at Lloyd Center

1000 NE Multnomah

Portland, Oregon

The organizers describe the fair as, “Oregon's premier event for used, rare, and collectible books. Our local and traveling booksellers share your passion for books, and will be presenting their most interesting material, whether it’s underground zines, quirky vintage photo albums, antiquarian tomes, or signed first editions of today’s hottest authors.”

Admission is $5 and can be purchased at the door.
