Getting a good selection of books ready for our stall next Sunday - see you there 😄

With the Book Fair fast approaching, now is a good time to have a think about what sort of books to look out for at the next book fair on the 28th June.

Many of our stall holders have a wide selection, and you can find anything from children’s books, cookery, history, fiction, flora and fauna, sports, music, comics, some newly published books, and more!

Well known authors sit side by side with new and upcoming authors, postcards and ephemera.

We have over 40 established sellers with a wide variety of books, postcards and magazines,

Look forward to seeing you there!

Wandering past the wonderful Cogito Books yesterday, I noticed that they were highlighting books by the shop's two founders, From Picks to Rifles, by Alan Grint, and Enfilade, by Julia Draper. I could not remember Enfilade so, on going home, checked the details online. Cogito are selling it at £7.99, but online it's £86 plus postage! Things are not always cheaper online!
