This PBFA logo was specifically designed for the monthly online fairs.
The July sale posted some success stories including from Phil Salin of Sarah Key Books in Cambridge, which specialises in children’s and illustrated books.
He said: “Some £800 has resulted from the July online fair. Not all were outstanding and obvious items. We are very pleased with how these online fairs are going.”
The bookseller is offering a 1997 first paperback edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in the August fair.
McLaren Books from Helensburgh in Scotland reported that in the June fair it sold a £1200 book, adding “the online fair may not have the fun of a real event but it can work – and the bar bill is cheaper”.
