Tipperariana Book Fair returns

The Tipperariana Book Fair returns to the Ballroom Fethard (E91 AH76) on Sunday, February 12, from 12 noon until 4pm. After a hiatus of two years, the Fethard Historical Society looks forward to once more hosting what has long been vaunted as “the most successful one-day book fair in Ireland”. Regular attendees will notice the earlier opening and closing times.

Any queries relating to the book fair can be directed to the society’s Chairman Michael Mallon or by email at bookfair@fethard.com

As always book dealers from all over the country will be present offering a wide variety of books from specialist first editions, historical tomes, children’s books, general interest, and popular fiction. There is literally something for everyone.

Tipperary authors of books published last year will also be in attendance so it’s the ideal opportunity to come along, meet the author and buy a signed copy of that book for which you’ve been waiting. This year’s authors include among others: Margaret O’Brien (Weather Report), Sean Hogan (editor, Series of Centenary Booklets), Peter O’Grady (Enemies of the People) and Fethard’s own Jasper Murphy and his fellow South East Scribes (Winter Miscellany).

The Fethard Historical Society also has its own stall offering incredible value in second-hand books of all genres: bestselling popular fiction, thrillers, the classics, poetry, gardening books, cookery books etc. It’s a great chance to find a bargain or track down that particular book for which you’ve been searching.

The book fair returns with all the individual touches that make it so unique: live music provided by a talented piano player, the chance to browse at leisure and the always popular pop-up café featuring tasty treats and home baked goodies.

The Fethard Historical Society is currently accepting donations of books for its stall. Books can be dropped into the Fethard Ballroom on Saturday, February 11, from 10am until 5pm or contact Mary Hanrahan on 087 900 9722.
