The annual Winter Book Fair will be held again this year at the usual venue of the Club House Hotel on Patrick Street Kilkenny from 10.30am until 4pm. The collection of books on display for sale will cover a wide range of material and should satisfy every taste for the literary enthusiast with prices that are more than reasonable, and negotiable. There will be in attendance 8 book sellers mostly from the South East of Ireland and Dublin with an eclectic array of books covering all genres of interest for the book lover.
From Kilkenny we have Geata Buidhe Books with collections of mostly Irish historical and literary interest, together with many out of print local publications and ephemeral items of social and topographical interest. Books covering the Celtic and Norman Cultural period of history should be of interest locally together with our most recent era of Rebellion and War of Independence.
Paulstown Books include many publications covering the Carlow/Kilkenny border areas such as scarce nostalgic items from the past and items out of print also.
Seamus O’Connor from Dublin brings with him a collection of rare and uncirculated coins together with some interesting items of numismatic interest.
Kieran O’Brien Books from Wexford will also have a collection of coins and medals together with an interesting array of antiquarian books of both local and Irish History.
Grange Silvia publications of some old Kilkenny directories and gazettes will also be available for purchase at reasonable prices.
Other book sellers include Joe Collins Rare Books from Dublin and Eddie Murphy’s Lyonshill Books from Kildare.
This Winter Book Fair has been running for the past 10 years and has proved to be quite popular and well supported by the book lovers in the Kilkenny area and further afield. We would like to thank our supporters for their custom over the years and wish them all a Happy New Year in 2024.
