I typically drive over for this Con and have done a few photo reports of it.  This year I'm not going to be able to go but I'd love to see some pictures of all the great books I'll not be able to buy

Will do sir, but you do realize that some of these dealers haven't done a show since the 2020 one! 

That's okay though, more books for me to buy at 2020 prices
