Take a break from the festivities of books on Saturday, September 26, and head over to Bethesda for the Small Press Expo from 11 am-7 pm.

SPX reports that 2008 saw “over 3,000 attendees and exhibitors, along with dozens of printers, distributors, retailers, and other industry professionals,” and this year promises to be just as exciting, with “over 400 artists and publishers to meet their readers, booksellers, distributors, and each other.”

If you can’t tear yourself away from the Mall on Saturday, the Expo will also be open on Sunday, September 27, from noon-6 pm. Note: There is an admission fee of $10 for one day or $15 for both days.

What a weekend! See you there.
