46th Edition Northern New

England Book Fair June 3 & 4

CONCORD, NH – Northern New England’s Premier Book Fair, in
its 46th rendition, will take place at the Everett Arena located in
Concord, NH on June 3 & 4, 2022 – Friday from 4-8 p.m. and
Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This show has persevered over the past two years and the dealers are
coming back with the best collections of books, ephemera, maps, and
photography you will find anywhere. In addition, there will be more
dealers than ever before. For the first time, there will be a Friday
evening opening and more time to search for those special items you’ve
been searching for to add to your collection.
The Northern NE Bookfair is pleased to announce that the Abbott-
Downing Historical Society of Concord will be exhibiting doing a
fundraiser for their new museum space. They will be selling books and
CDs and offering an educational program during the show. Additional
programming is still to be determined.
Visitors will find all the New England authors one could hope to
find … including, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Donald Hall,
Robert Frost, Tasha Tudor, Edward Rowe Snow, Kenneth Roberts,
May Sarton, Cecilia Thaxter, Elizabeth Yates, Elizabeth Orton Jones,
Barbara Cooney, Tomie DiPaola, Joseph Lincoln, Stephen King, Dan
Brown, and hundreds of other local authors.
As a special activity within the Bookfair, dealers from New England
will have historical books and artifacts.
Back again this year will be an enlarged selection of postcard dealers,
with over 100,000 postcards on hundreds of subjects, including all the
holidays, local history, golf, baseball, specialty, and your home town.
The Northern New England Bookfair takes place on Friday and
Saturday, June 3rd and 4th. at the Everett Arena in Concord, NH,
15 Loudon Road in Concord, NH. Children, adults, grandparents—
everyone!—can find the books they have only heard about, hoped to
see, and wished to own.
