 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
All enquiries to the webmaster.

Cambridge
Book Fair
Welcome
to our 35th 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
34. 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. The University Library looms in the West of Cambridge, and In February it will be staging an exhibition 'Advancing by degrees: University of Cambridge 1209-2009'. 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.
