As you would imagine from the fair’s name, books, photographs, prints, engravings, manuscripts, caricatures and cartoons, magazines, ephemera, maps and posters are all on sale.

The theme of this October’s fair, which is held over five days, from October 18-22, is Slapstick, so expect plenty of caricatures, comics and satirical verse for sale.
