We are pleased to announce the return of the FROME BOOK FAIR, now organised by the PBFA - Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association. The fair started as a privately organised event in 2016, with two events happening in 2018 and 2019. Having started in a smaller venue (The Silk Mill), in 2019 the fair moved to the Cheese & Grain. The Cheese & Grain is a great location for the fair and attracts a lot of visitors that wouldn't normally visit a book fair, something that we really welcome. The secondhand book trade can sometimes be associated with dusty old books and we want to change this perception. We want to introduce the wonderful world of old books to as many people as possible. The Frome Book Fair attracts a varied selection of booksellers from the West Country & around the UK, offering an array of different subjects and books for every pocket. |
With a bright and fresh new layout we hope our customers, new and old, will enjoy browsing our new stock. Now in the hands of Peter & Thais, from Peter Foster Books, the shop continues to offers the usual selection of Classic Children's Illustrated Books from Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Enid Blyton, Beatrix Potter, Winnie-the-Pooh, The Hobbit and many more. We also have a great selection of Local books, books on Magic & the Occult, Cookery, Travel, Sports and Motoring. |
With two bookcases now dedicated to the beautiful Folio Society Editions, we offer a great selection of the classics like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Conan Doyle, Grahame Greene, Kipling and more. |
And a whole bookcase full of stunning Fine and Prize Bindings, with complete full work sets to individually crafted bindings from the best binders available. |
