The Winter Antiques Show at the Armory is come and gone. The business is beginning to pick up. On the west coast the ABAA and ILAB sponsored book fair, at Oakland, the first week of February is fast approaching. The first drumbeats for the April book fairs in New York are distant but perceptible. We are living in a continuim and if you are a collector it is a nice development.
