Hi, I will be autographing our new Kovels' price guides at the Buckeye Book Fair this Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Wooster, Ohio. It is in the Fisher Auditorium on the OARDC Campus. One hundred authors will be there. Stop by to say hello. If you have some old Kovels' price books, bring them along. I will autograph those, too.
