Also on Saturday, the International Printing Museum (Torrance Blvd, just east of Figueroa) is hosting the 6th Annual Los Angeles Printers Fair, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. $10 admission.
The closest Metro service appears to be a number of bus stops at the corner of Torrance Blvd and Vermont Ave.; from there, walk about half a mile east on Torrance, past Alpine Village, under the freeway, and just past the antique shop and the Ebenezer Church.
Hi James,
Thanks for the rec!

I just realized my really stupid, brain-dead mistake:
TODAY is the last weekend of PREPARATION for the Printers Fair.
It’s Saturday October 4th that’s the fair.
Of course, the museum itself is open from 10-4 today, the same as almost any other Saturday.
