Hi,

Just wondering if anyone in WA can tell me the places that commonly have book sales (ie which universities, or do they all do them at some stage)? I have been looking on the net but I can't find any, except for ones from 2011/2012!

Also, this might be a stupid question, but would all the books at 'book fairs' be ex-library? I have seen that Scholastic do book fairs, has anyone been to one & are they any good for kid's books?

Thanks for any light you can shed for me!

No need to answer, I've just gone through this thread and have found all the info I need, to those qu's above and more. Thanks to those who have shared experiences in the past as I am very new to selling books so I'm soaking up all the info I can.

Hi there

There is a guy at the Cannington markets selling a lot of books on sunday mornings.  Most stock is $2!

He may have some gems and takes requests.

He is rumoured to be trying to get into Kalamunda on a saturday afternoon market as well.

Save the Children have a smaller yard sale planned for 23 March in Shenton Park, corner of Underwood and

Brockway, but they have not started advertising that one yet.

Their retail shops have quite a few books, particularly Mandurah.

Every dealer in Perth goes to their big outing at UWA in August around 20th I think this year.

Hope this is helpful. 

regards

Jane

There is a book fair at Lumun Christi Catholic Church, Kensington Road Leopold from 9am to 2pm on Saturday 1st March.  Prices will be low overall.  There will also be dvd's, cd's and bric-a-brac.  May be worth a look.  For those of you who don't know the Bellarine Peninsula (Vic) Leopold is just east of Geelong, on the way to Queenscliff.

UWA book fair once a year is the biggest and best of them.Another in Nedlands at the begijning of the year Royal Historical book society again in Nedlands.NO ex libray.

I went to one in Shenton Park this weekend gone.Flyer claimed quality books.All 99.99% books were ex libray ( remember ex libray books can be had for 50c to $2 max at an actual libray sale) and priced into the oblivion.The 'collectable" books were neither scarce,rare nor collectable all junk.I wasted 5 min there and a trip there and back was not happy.Never again.

Hi Yarmak

I wasted 10 minutes and looked hard amongst all that ex-library tatty stuff.  Agree with you totally.

A terrific facility for selling books but their stock was dreadful.  Bring on UWA save the children sale!

See you at it!
