The Sign of a Good Book Fair The Provincial Booksellers Association has been organising book fairs since 1974. We aim to provide a wide ranging selection of books at all prices, in a variety of subjects, for both the reader and the serious collector. Wherever possible we welcome disabled visitors to our fairs and strive to provide a relaxed atmosphere in which customers may browse at leisure. Who

Edinburgh Book Fair In 2004 the first ever joint fair between the country's two major antiquarian book-selling organisations was established and building on the success of this pioneering venture a fourth joint fair was held again in Edinburgh in 2008.
Our
fifth joint fair in March 2009 will see over 70 leading dealers from
the P.B.F.A. and A.B.A. exhibiting in the Music Hall and the Ballroom
of Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms. 
Edinburgh Scotland's
capital is one of the most rewarding cities in the world. Not only
one of the most historic cities in Europe; it is also one of the most
attractive, with architectural glories, such as the New Town, the
Palace of Holyroodhouse and Edinburgh Castle vying with treasures
of national heritage, such as the fantastic art collections of the
Scottish National Gallery, the book collections in the National Library
of Scotland and other great museums of the city.
Exhibition A traditional attraction of the Fair is an exhibition of books and related material : this year, under the title Milestones, we will feature some of those persons and events with significant anniversaries falling in 2009. Major figures such as Burns, Darwin, Dr. Johnson and Louis Braille are represented but so too are such diverse characters as Wyatt Earp and Tintin.
