It was an amazing four days at the Los Angeles Art Book Fair. We loved LA and LA loved us back! Thanks to the thousands who turned out and to the staff of printed matter, especially Shannon and Jordan, who ran the show seamlessly. Above, the stand as we arrived with the shipped boxes awaiting and below, two days later, all dressed out and ready for the preview crowd. Details of the Vasta stand in the photos below. A second LAABF post to follow.
