as stallholders!
This was our first time at the fair and we travelled to Conway Hall with much anticipation.
Arriving just before 10am we were escorted to our stall by organiser Jimi, which we were to
share with Malcom and Layla of Housmans radical book shop. Setting up shop we chatted with
our neighbors, feeling very lucky to have been put alongside such lovely people.
With over 100 individual and collective sellers, the modest hall was crammed with tables full
of all sorts of print from comics and graphic posters to books, zines and journals.
The energy in the room was vibrant and positive, with a steady flow of visitors all day come
3pm it became extremly busy; at our stall we sold out of the Swiss Issue!
The best parts of the day were meeting fellow publishing peers and devotees, sharing stories
and interests and receiving such positive feedback from people, even when not making a sale.
This was also the first fair that we have both attended which was fantastic.
Our favourite seller of the day was Jamie Mills, who had a stall with the Pittville Press.
His stunning graphic illustrations are somewhat seen to the be believed, the detail
so impressive they have a photographic quality, with a strong personal quirk.
Someone to watch out for!
