Feeling book-ish?

Bibliophiles take note... This year's Baltimore Summer Antiques Show, billed as the largest indoor antiques event in the nation, opens Thursday at the Convention Center and includes an Antiquarian Book Fair. In addition to hundreds of antiques exhibitors, 60 rare books dealers will also be present. And on Sunday at 1 pm, Ian Kahn of Lux Mentis books will give a talk, "“Biblio Esoterica: The Hunt for Forbidden Fruit.” Sounds promising. Bring your checkbook.

And while you're down there, duck into the new Hilton and check out the local artwork, by the likes of Loring Cornish and Don Griffin, on display.
