Thriller Writer Lynda La Plante is this Year’s Patron of the Antiquarian Book Fair
The multi award winning author and screenwriter Lynda La Plante, has agreed to be the Patron and figurehead of this year’s Antiquarian Book Fair at Olympia (5th-7th June 2008).
‘Lynda La Plante’s gripping and expertly written television thrillers are the backbone of British quality viewing,’ said Adrian Harrington, Chairman of the Antiquarian Book Fair. ‘Trial and Retribution and Prime Suspect starring Helen Mirren must rate as amongst the best of their genre. Lynda is also a major author and we’re delighted and honoured that she is opening this year’s Book Fair at Olympia.’
There are 160 international exhibitors representing the cream of the world’s antiquarian booksellers, a record number this century. As always the Fair boasts ‘something for everyone’, no matter how obscure the subject, there is bound to be a book about it from illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, modern first editions and ‘ultra moderns’ to maps, atlases, prints, letters, autographs and vintage photographs. The Fair is the perfect place to browse, discuss, compare, learn and buy; prices range from £30 to £500,000.
The Book Fair is the largest and most prestigious event of its kind in Europe and the oldest established book fair in the world. It is organised by the august Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association, which means that all its members have been carefully vetted so the public can buy with confidence.
Opening times:
Thursday 5th June 4pm-9.00pm Friday 6th June 11.00am-7.00pm
