Claire Cottrell's BOOK STAND has a booth at the L.A. Book Fair @ Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (Little Tokyo) and I can attest that hers will be a shining reflection of the magic that conjures up when you choose your collaborators/artists carefully. Oh yeah, and her theme is PLANTS AND WILDFLOWERS! Besides her much coveted collection of books, journals and zines, she will also be selling textiles, prints, bookmarks and celebrating the work of these 3 brilliant artists:

• Ye Rin Mok and her booklet The Southwest
• Lauren Spencer King and her beautiful Heneban watercolor prints (I know that I'm a bit biased here because Lauren is my dear friend but so what; I've already seen some of these prints and they are hauntingly beautiful)
• Jaime Rugh's new book Backyard Wildflowers (I'm elated for Jaime because I've been following her for quite some time and she is über talented, period. Her wildflowers are exceptional, but so is her spirit of living and anything else that she touches).

So come! More info here!
