If you go to Maker Faire, I would <strong>strongly</strong> recommend
seeing Megan Prelinger speak about her new book: "From the Electron to the
Solar System, an Art History of Electronics". She has a great mind, and
pulled from a lot of rare resources you would only find at the Prelinger
Library. If you mention that you are a member of Sudo Room, she will be
thrilled. ;]

About the Prelinger Library: She and her husband (Rick Prelinger, the film
archivist) founded it. It is insane. They specifically seek rare books and
ephemera (maps, postcards, zines,...), on topics range from utopianism and
anarchism to land management and human geography. They are also on the
light side of the IP/open knowledge debate (they go out of their way to
note that their library is "appropriation-friendly").

They're very interesting people to meet if you haven't already, and would
be happy to meet you during library open hours, which are Wednesdays 1-8p
at Rm. #215, 301 8th Street, SF. More info at <http://prelingerlibrary.org/>
