Secondhand books at the AES
Thanks for that Pete. York is a long way to go, but the bargains to be had might make it worthwhile. The exhibition always seems to be crawling with people buying and swapping set specimens, but the Butterfly Conservation stand is always worth a visit. For me however the greatest value of the exhibition is the enormous number of secondhand entomology books on sale, typically running into several hundred volumes, covering everything from popular but out of print stuff, to scarce scientific papers about the odd habits of a particular fly. Great stuff, and should certainly not be missed by anyone in the area.

I'll be attending the AES exhibition on Saturday week (7th October) if anyone wants to meet up. Next year I might get a stand but, since this costs money (!), an informal get-together will have to suffice ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Please let me know if you'd like to meet up so that I can gauge interest. I'll figure out a suitable meeting point between now and then![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
