Welcome to what amounts to a virtual convention dealer’s hall. I plan to post links and occasional recommendations for vendors, authors, and book sellers I’ve encountered over the years at the conventions I’ve attended. The Haven has grown to the point I’ve assigned the larger categories their own sub-pages for easier browsing. I’m leaving “Entertainers, Food Court, and Other Oddities” (formerly “Uncategorized”), and “Conventions and Other Fandom Gathers” here on the main page due to the fewer listings under those headings. Check in regularly for new links to be added. ~ Tamara
