Field notes
The guide treats Tucson's event as an umbrella rather than a single destination, dividing it into public tents, hotel-room dealers, outdoor yards, wholesale halls, and the convention-center exhibition. Its advice connects venue choice to practical constraints: early dates favor selection, final days may favor discounts, and large purchases may require a rolling bag, truck, or shipping arrangement. The author identifies himself as a Tucson-based geologist who walks the event each February.
