Our next event is the Bristol Railwayana Auction which is being held on Sunday 21 April 2024 in Abbeywood Community School just north of Bristol, near Bristol Parkway Station. The auction starts at 11am with viewing from 10am. We will be taking lots of new stock, particularly GWR and Southern Railway publicity.

May sees us with a stand at the PBFA London Summer Book Fair at the Holiday Inn in Bloomsbury on Sunday 19 May. This is timed to coincide with the last day of the ABA's 'Firsts' Book Fair, so why not spend the day in London and visit both fairs?

There is then a break until July when we go back to Hay on Wye for the second PBFA fair there. It is held in the newly restored Hay Castle, a great venue! 

We issued a catalogue in advance of last September's York Book Fair and this is available here. There are a few choice items still available so do get in touch if you are interested in anything.

Do take a look at our recent acquisitions! We have just listed a copy of the very rare 'Jailbird Jottings', Iris Parfitt's humorous and delightfully illustrated account of her internment in two Japanese camps during WW2, a full set of G Bramwell-Evens 'Romany' books in very good order in their dustwrappers and the 1924 British Empire Exhibition issue of 'Metro-land', with its map (which has usually been removed).

In addition to our attendance at book fairs, we have been concentrating on listing on ABE and eBay the many books & items of ephemera that we have acquired in recent months - click here for our latest acquisitions and here for our eBay current auctions.

We hope to see you soon but in the meantime good hunting!
