Dear Friends,

From my earliest years I have been intrigued, in fact in love with books. They are the source of endless pleasure, a place to escape from the harsh realities of the world and sometimes places to confront even harsher truths. My first career was as a librarian where this love developed and flourished even more. My house is crammed full of books and I still spend much time and money in book shops. 

However, as with all love affairs things change. When travelling now I rarely carry books because of the weight and often now when reading a book in bed I nearly get knocked out when I fall asleep holding a book and it bashes me in the head. So books as we have known them are perhaps less popular than in the past but as our current book fair is proving there are still plenty of them around. The hard work from so many for the book fair is awesome and we thank you all for carrying, sorting and selling such a huge volume of books.

With the advent of kindles and MacBooks predictions of the demise of print books have abounded but I strongly feel that this will never happen as there is something tactile and wonderful about a print book, it smells right and at the end of the night there is little difference between a bash in the head from a good book or from an iPad.

Rejoice and give thanks for books in all their manifestations and for our amazing, tiring and invigorating Book Fair.
