PBFA
The Sign of a Good Book Fair

The Provincial Booksellers Association has been organising book fairs since 1974. We aim to provide a wide ranging selection of books at all prices, in a variety of subjects, for both the reader and the serious collector. Wherever possible we welcome disabled visitors to our fairs and strive to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which customers may browse at leisure.

Who is the Book Fair For?

Anyone interested in books, collecting and reading. This is a Fair designed for everyone young and old, and a great place to start collecting. You will find books from over 500 years old to modern first editions, and everything in between. With over 50,000 books for sale, where else can you look at, touch, enjoy, and even purchase so many rarities under one roof? If you are already a collector then it is a great opportunity to meet new dealers in your area.


Members of the P.B.F.A. also sell books through the web site: Booksatpbfa.com

Cambridge Book Fair

Welcome to our 36th annual fair, East Anglia’s largest such event. As one of the P.B.F.A.’s longest established fairs it has a special place in the calendar. This years event aims to be as good as the preceding 35. Some 70 dealers will be gathered at the heart of this historic City. They will be exhibiting thousands of books, as well as a scattering of maps and prints. A printed catalogue of exhibitors is available, and will be supplied free of charge, just follow the complimentary tickets link for your copy. We hope to see you in February.

Cambridge

The Historic City of Cambridge is home to some of the most magnificent buildings in England. Since the first college – Peterhouse - in 1284, the University has steadily grown. Perhaps the crowning glory is the magnificent King’s College Chapel, a building of international renown. The city is also home to numerous museums, of which the Fitzwilliam is the largest, housing the Cambridge University collection. The University Library looms in the West of Cambridge, and In February there will be an exhibition ‘Under Covers: Documenting Spies’ - look under Links for Visitors for details. We are well supplied with pubs, and cafes, and restaurants to cater for all tastes. At this time of year we may be a little optimistic in recommending another of Cambridge's special experiences - the punt trip - but a walk along the Backs is always a delight.
