The Hillcrest Book and Literary Festival will be held next Sunday,
June 10, in San Diego, from 10 am to 5 pm, and I would like to invite
everyone in Southern California to attend.
The Book Fair will have approximately 50 booths of book sellers, many
who sell only on the Internet, and this will be a rare opportunity to
view their inventory. There will also staged readings, author readings
and signings, a children's area, and story telling.
The book fair will be on Fifth Avenue, between University Avenue and
Robinson Avenue.
Here is a link to a Yahoo map that gives the location of the book fair
and you can use it for driving directions:

The official site for the book fair can be found at:

The book fair is a free event, but parking can be difficult. Since the
book fair is on Sunday, you can park at any metered location on the
street all day for free. Usually neighborhood parking is available,
leaving you only a short walk to the book fair. There are several pay
lots in the area.
Hillcrest is in central San Diego and has many fine shops (including
three used book stores) and restaurants within a few minutes walk.
Balboa Park and it's San Diego Zoo and other museums and gardens is
only a few miles away. June weather in San Diego can be unpredictable,
but I would expect cool overcast weather in the morning, perhaps with
some misting, but usually bright sun in the afternoon.
A journey to San Diego to enjoy the book fair, the park, and Hillcrest
would be a fun day trip for the entire family!
