PBFA Book Fair

 The second PBFA Book Fair to be held at Hay Castle is this Saturday from 10am to 5pm.

Entry to the book fair is free.

As well as the booksellers, there will be two talks.

At 12 noon Arthur Green will be talking about the use of cloth in English bookbinding in the early nineteenth century.  He is a book conservator and book binder, and a bookbinding historian, based in Malvern.  The cost of the talk is £8.

At 2.30pm, Jeff Towns is giving a talk called The Wilder Shores of Dylan Thomas.  He used to run the Dylan Thomas Mobile Bookbus, and spent fifty years at Dylan's Bookstore in Swansea.  He will be bringing out a book of essays on Dylan Thomas shortly.  This talk is also £8.

Both talks will take place in the Clore Learning Space, upstairs in the Castle, and tickets are available from Hay Castle Trust.

Hay Cinema Bookshop is holding a reception for the visiting booksellers on Friday evening between 6pm and 8pm, outside in the garden if fine!
