The 40th Annual Belfast Book Fair
The 40th Annual Belfast Book Fair took place in St Mary’s University College on Saturday 12th October.
Priding itself on stocking books on “…every subject…second hand, antiquarian, rare, out of print, local interest, Irish language, historically significant or beautifully bound…” the fair was well attended throughout the day and saw numerous items (such as original film posters, comics and contemporary pamphlets) picked up by eager attendees, many of whom had travelled from various parts of the country to see what was on sale.
