The York National Bookfair has become an eagerly anticipated fixture in the city’s cultural calendar attracting visitors and sellers from across the UK and beyond. This year’s event is set to impress once again, with a showcase of books, maps, ephemera and prints from an international collection of booksellers.
This year’s fair will feature over 185 exhibitors. An impressive increase from the modest 20 who showcased their books at the first ever fair at the White Swan Inn, York, in 1974. 50 years on and the York Book Fair has grown into the largest, and many say friendliest, rare, antiquarian & out-of-print book fair in the U.K and Europe. Held over two days, the country's leading booksellers will offer for sale an awe-inspiring array of books, as well as maps & prints. Items available for sale will range in price from just a few pounds up to tens of thousands of pounds. There will also be a range of trade stands selling marbled papers, binding materials. Providers of services to the book trade including software and packaging material suppliers will also be present.
The Fair venue is easy to reach, with unlimited free parking, and a free shuttle bus running from the Memorial Gardens on Railway Street, to the Racecourse, every 30 minutes. Entrance to the event is £2 on the door and tickets can be re-used all weekend.
Fri, Sep 13th 12pm - 7pm
