Dublin City Book Fair, Tara Towers Hotel, Merrion Road, Dublin

I had an opportunity to pay a flying visit to this Book Fair yesterday and I was well impressed by the wide variety/quality of items on offer – many at very reasonable prices. An early childrens’ edition of ‘The Thirty Nine Steps’ caught my eye at a mere €12 and a copy of the rare ‘The Natural History of Cape Clear’ 1st edition – cheap at €75. I was, sadly, in selling mode (i.e.broke) so passed on both. Apart from books of every type there were also stamps, postcards and coins on offer.
