The $5 book sale has always been downtown a couple of blocks from the museum. I think in a building called Finkel Building. Vendors are there too. Just about every empty building is rented for vendors in the downtown area. Also the mall is full of quilt vendors too. I found the prices are better at the vendors not in the quilt show merchant's area. Quilt Show and Merchant's Mall, Quilt Museum, Eleanor Burns, Hancock's of Paducah, Mall Vendors, Downtown shops and vendors, Special Exhibit Hall, Paper Pieces Shop, plus a walk in the downtown for area for all the shops, at least three days to take it all in and enjoy it.
