So, the PBFA York New Year Book Fair is over for another year. We had a successful fair so many thanks to our customers old & new!

Next up is the Cambridge Book Fair which, for the third time, is being held in St Barnabas Church on 20 and 21 February 2026. With around 70 dealers attending it is well worth a visit.

Shortly afterwards we are off to the Burton on Trent Transport Collectors Fair in the Burton Town Hall on 28 February 2026. This is a delightful venue with free parking for those who are coming by car or a short walk from the railway station.

We will also likely be at the Talisman Railwayana Auction on 23 March 2026, which is being held in the Cedric Ford Pavilion on the Newark Showground. A single owner collection is being sold, with hardware, books and ephemera in abundance!

As usual, we issued a catalogue in late August in advance of the autumn York Book Fair - you can see a copy here. Much has sold but there are still some choice items available - please contact us if there is anything of interest.

Do delve into our website, you can search our listings by category or keyword. If you would like us to reserve any items and bring them along to an upcoming fair do let us know. In particular, we have recently acquired a large collection of cycling, motorcycling and motoring ephemera which is being listed on ABE in the coming weeks. For our current listings please click here. We also have a large collection of Southern Railway publicity for sale that is not listed - please contact us if you are looking for that elusive item!

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, here for our eBay current auctions and here for our eBay fixed price listings.

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