12 Reasons For Coming to the
NHABA Book Fair
1. Browse through over 25,000 fine books. Browing
and shopping at a book fair is not like browsing in a general bookshop. Dealers
who set up at a show generally bring their best and most interesting books.
Those dealers who sell online often bring their new stock to our Fair before
it goes up for sale on the Internet.
2. Hold a book in your hands before you buy it! Buying
books on the internet is fine, but of no use if you want to check the contents
or condition of a book first hand before you purchase it.
3. Have 600 years of book seller experience at your
service. Over 60 dealers with an average time in the business of over
10 years is a resource not to be ignored.
4. You pay no sales tax at the Fair - there is no
Sales Tax in New Hampshire, and you also save on shipping since you can carry
your books home with you.
5. Tell the dealers your interests ahead of time.
Operation INTEREST MATCH lets you tell exhibitors what books to bring
to the Fair. For more information click on
INTEREST MATCH
6. Find books that are not on the Internet.Three of the largest New Hampshire dealers do not list their books on the Internet. They will be at the Fair together with a number of smaller dealers who have yet to go online
7. Enjoy lunch out by the Merrimack River. Pack a
picnic lunch or purchase lunch at the Arena. Then take a break from book
hunting and sit in the little park out behind the Arena where you can enjoy
a peaceful moment on a warm September afternoon.
8. Enjoy dinner after the Fair. Concord has a number
of nice restaurants, or ask one of the exhibitors of their favorite eating
spots on your route home.
9. Have a hassle free trip for a change. The Concord
Arena is located within a hundred yards of Route 93 in Concord. As the Book
Fair no longer coincides with the NASCAR Race, the Sunday drive to and from
the Fair is a breeze.
10. Meet experts in your speciality. If you find a
dealer who specializes in books in your area of interest, you have found
an expert who will delight in answering your questions. He may also have
the book you are looking for back at his shop or can point you to someone
who does.
11. Have a chance to win a Gift Certificate. When
you first come in the Fair, be sure to sign up for our drawing for a $25.
