First on Line at Book Sale After 9-Hour Wait

Newtown resident and private book dealer Ryan Knaggs, 54, enters the Westport Library summer book sale today at 9 a.m. as first in line of 460 waiting book enthusiasts. “I got here at 11:47 p.m. last night and slept here,” he said. Knaggs said he specializes in autographed books, noting that “foreign authors sign on the dedication page and English speaking authors sign on the title page.”  He said he has been dealing in this specialty for over 30 years.
