2024 SUMMER BOOK FAIR

Grace Christian School

2023 Summer Book Fair

 

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. If you love books, prints, maps and postcards, there's no better way to spend a day.


Vermontiana and Americana expert J. Kevin Graffagnino will be doing

free appraisals from 1-3pm
