2010 Projects
During the first three months of this year we will be attending one fair per month at various venues around Britain. In January we will be at the York One Day Book Fair, in February we will be at the Cambridge Book Fair and in March we will be in Edinburgh at the joint ABA and PBFA Fair at the Edinburgh Assesmbly Rooms. If you need tickets to any of these events we would be happy to mail or email them to you. We would be delighted to see you if you can make it.
Based on recent architecture and photography purchases our upcoming list 67 will feature these subjects. These are all 20th century books but form a very interesting collection of titles. We are currently cataloguing these titles.
Early in the New Year you will also notice some changes on our website which is partially being redesigned to help you find and order books. We hope this will be useful to all our customers
Happy New Year to you all.
