THE next Provincial Booksellers’ fair takes place at the Church Hall, Digby Road, Sherborne on October 8 from 10am until 4pm.

It will feature books, maps, prints and items from professional book dealers across the region and beyond.

The Society of Wood Engravers will also be exhibiting a selection of their work at the fair, and the majority of the engravings will be for sale. The Society of Wood Engravers was founded in 1920 by a group of artists that included Philip Hagreen, Robert Gibbings, Lucien Pissarro, Gwen Raverat and Eric Gill.

The emphasis of the fair will be books on art, illustration and design, but there will also be books available on a myriad of other subjects.

Items are available from a few pounds up to many hundreds, catering for all interests and pockets. Admission is £1, children free. For details contact Karen Jakobsen at Bond Books on 01258 471 249 or info@bondbooks.co.uk
