The next two national book fairs at the Masonic Hall on Molesworth Street, Dublin, will both take place on Sundays rather than the more usual Mondays. Accordingly, the first fair next weekend is scheduled for Sunday, August 3rd, while an additional such event will run on Sunday, August 31st.

A large number of booksellers from across the Republic are already confirmed for next Sunday's fair, which will, as before, feature rare and antiquarian books, and second hand and collectable volumes.
