"Hosted by the Ephemera Society of America, the largest ephemera fair in the United States took place in Old Greenwich, Conn. this month. For one weekend, a hotel convention hall transformed into a bustling maze of booths boasting stars’ signatures, 1800s playthings, and century-old shoe catalogs so well preserved they could have been printed this year."

"The conference included various presentations and lectures (typical title: “Better Design Through Chemistry: Graphic Art from the Psychedelic Era”) and also featured the Ephemera Fair, which is basically a big marketplace for ephemera dealers. Although I’m not an ESA member, the Fair is open to the public, so my friend David and I went up to Old Greenwich on Saturday to check out the scene."
