The Norwich Book Fair 2024

We are delighted to be supporting the annual PBFA Norwich Book Fair 2024, which will be held in the Forum building of the Millennium Library in the centre of our beautiful medieval city of Norwich, on Saturday September 28th 2024.

This year the Provincial Booksellers’ Fairs Association, or PBFA, celebrates its 50th anniversary, having been formed immediately after the first York Book Fair in October 1974. Operating as a 'Not for Profit' association, since its inception the PBFA has been running fairs that cover the length and breadth of the country, its members displaying a wide variety of books both second-hand and antiquarian, and often with maps, prints and ephemera. In this landmark year it remains a wonderful innovative, creative and inclusive co-operative of book-sellers who are passionate about their trade, with a strong code of ethics at its core. The Forum is a wonderful venue for the Book Fair, being a magnificent piece of architecture flooded with light, in the heart of Norwich, a literary city for over 900 years, steeped in history and culture, and since 2012 England's first UNESCO City of Literature. With our location in the County of Norfolk, so synonymous with literature, we are delighted to be associated with this event and to show our presence in the milieu of the world of second hand, rare and collectable books.

Our books and ephemera specialist Robert Henshilwood presides over quarterly book auctions at TW Gaze. Each sale typically has 300-400 lots of interesting, good quality, collectable books covering a wide range of genre, as well as manuscript material, autographs, maps, photographs and other items of ephemera & works on paper. Each sale is catalogued with care and professionalism, the online catalogue being well illustrated with numerous photographs per lot, and we have an established market of private collectors and members of the book trade from the local to the international level, using live bidding platforms the-saleroom.com and easyliveauction.com. For valuations or consignments please contact auctions@twgaze.co.uk
