Testimonials

Being able to travel to an event like the LBF without having to worry about accommodation was particularly good. The stress avoided by knowing that overnight arrangements were already dealt with meant that I was able to focus on the LBF itself. As a first time attendee, this meant that I was free to enjoy and explore the book fair. Thank You. (Xavier Morcrette - Bookshop Chapter One Bookshop )

We thought the program the BA put together was exciting, practical and easy to access and it would be the main reason we'd look to come again to LBF. (Mog, Warwick Books)

As an Indie still in my first year of trading it was a brilliant way to talk to people who were also new to Bookselling and also to talk to more experienced sellers. The PA meeting was brilliant, lots of first hand information from the publicists and also useful to gauge the reaction of other booksellers regarding new releases. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again next year. (Lesslie Oliver, The Bookworm at Selkirk )

London Book & Screen Week
The London Book Fair sits in the heart of London Book & Screen Week - a capital wide celebration of books, and the films, TV programmes, and virtual worlds they've inspired. Booksellers have the opportunity to list and promote their events on the LBSW website.
