BookExpo, the equivalent of Fashion Week for the book-readin' crowd, lands in Los Angeles this weekend. The literary industry's largest trade show features hundreds of booksellers, publishers, and signings with over 600 authors from the esteemed (Ray Bradbury, Nikki Giovanni) to the absurd (Kirk Cameron, Cheech & Chong) and the hilariously in-between (The Naughty Secretary Club). Conferences on literary rights and going green are held alongside special events with Ted Turner, Neil Gaiman, Magic Johnson, Judy Blume, and Michael Moore. Or you could just play Where's Waldo with the dozens of literary agents mixed in with the crowds.
