AN ANNUAL book fair will return to York Racecourse this weekend.
The Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association will be hosting an antiquarian book fair from 10am until 4.30pm this Saturday (January 12).
This year the York New Year Book Fair will host 130 book dealers who will be selling everything from early printed books to modern first editions and children’s books.
It is set to be the biggest fair the association has ever had in the city.
Organiser Philip Morris Brooks said that there will also be other alternatives to books at the fair.
He said: “Visitors to the fair will have an opportunity to look at and buy a variety of printed materials that includes, not only books, but maps, prints, and ephemera.”
Tickets can be purchased by visiting pbfa.org/book-fairs/york-new-year-book-fair/6770.
However, tickets are also available from a number of local second-hand bookshops in York. A free shuttle bus is also available running to and from the fair every 30 minutes.
The first bus leaves York Memorial Gardens at 9.30am.
