The Brooklyn Art Book Fair

We went to the Brooklyn Art Book Fair in September 20^th. There were lots of people waiting beside the entrance when we got there, because we arrived a little bit earlier than their open time.

When I went into the Fair, there were a large tabernacle in the middle of the ground, beside it is a big room. I felt so excited that looked around in this room to search a book which is attracted me. Most book in this room is handmade, and these books author set behind their table. Some of them were introducing their books to the customers. Some of them were just enjoying their handmade process. All of their handmade books are very elegant. A lots of beautiful patterns was drew on papers. People stopped at tables where have their interesting books. Then they devote in browsing those books earnestly.

There were more than twenty-five rooms in the Book Fair divided by publishers. I found a book I am interested in, called The Whole Earth-California and the Disappearance of the outside, which has many writers working on it in a room on second floor. The book mainly talks about changes of the earth through many photos, paintings, and some posters. The layout of the book sometimes has many pictures with few words, or sometimes is words on a whole page without any pictures. From an overall perspective, the book puts words in four parts, and between a part and another part has space during it, which helps the article easy to read. While sometimes a big picture will occupies two or three part even the whole page. The book on a table that also has some other books, like one book which about travel. In fact, it is a photograph album, because the whole book has a large picture on every page with few descriptions under the photo.

I was enjoyable of this experience, because I am so happy that almost forgot the time. I just kept walking and looked around and searched books I am interested in. Otherwise, one thing that I realized was many books in there are picture album, and I hope that they can add some other kinds of books like movie or history at their tables.
