2025 SPRING BOOK, PAPER

& POSTCARD FAIR

 

Sunday, June 1st     10am-4pm

 

St Albans City Hall

100 North Main St

We are a group of booksellers from all around Vermont and New England, gathering together to bring you our best examples of collectible and rare books, postcards, prints and ephemera. It's like visiting a dozen different bookshops all at once!

There will be plenty of affordable books in addition to the more pricey volumes. You will get to talk to different booksellers, each of whom is very knowledgeable about their particular specialty. Discuss your favorite authors and subjects. Check out some of the beautiful craftsmanship of the older book bindings.

 

This year we are partnering with Saint Albans Community Arts to bring even more literary activities to the fair.
