PBFA
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 is the Book Fair For?

Anyone interested in books, collecting and reading. This is a Fair designed for everyone young and old, and a great place to start collecting. You will find books from over 500 years old to modern first editions, and everything in between. With over 50,000 books for sale, where else can you look at, touch, enjoy, and even purchase so many rarities under one roof? If you are already a collector then it is a great opportunity to meet new dealers in your area.

All enquiries to the webmaster.

Oxford
The oldest university in the English-speaking world

An ancient picturesque University city on the Rivers Cherwell and Thames, the latter also known as The Isis. Oxford is home to the University of Oxford, the oldest and one of the most famous universities in the English-speaking world.

Buildings in Oxford reflect every English architectural period since the Saxons, including the mid eighteenth century Radcliffe Camera, the hub of the city. Oxford is known as the “city of dreaming spires”, a term coined by the poet Matthew Arnold in reference to the harmonious architecture of Oxford’s university buildings.

Oxford’s earliest colleges were University College 1249, Balliol 1263, and Merton 1264. Oxford’s second university, Oxford Brookes University has been voted for the last five years the best new university in the UK.

Oxford’s attractions include the Ashmolean Museum, Bodleian Library, Carfax Tower, Oxford Botanic Garden, Pitt Rivers Museum, Sheldonian Theatre and St. Mary The Virgin Church.
