Live book sales for May - events and schools


Live book sales for May started well at Pontypridd Book Fair. I had no idea what to expect. We got a good footfall of browsers, including parents and kids, and a couple of big buyers - one person bought £45 of books in one go!

Pontypridd Book Fair May 11 - £205.41

Colouring Books (various) - 13
All 3 Shakespeare (inc selling out two Omnibus editions) - 3
Richard The Third - 4
Findlay Macbeth - 2
Prince of Denmark Street - 2
Tales From The Bible - 1

May 13 Dukes Secondary, Ashington Northumberland 
4 x Richard The Thirds @ £6 = £24


May 14 Cramlington (above)
60 x Richard The Thirds @ £6 = £360 (!!!!)

(May 15 school bought none, leaving me with one box of 30 books to take me through Barry Collector Con this weekend, and two days at Colmore School next week. Biting my nails waiting for Stuart Gould to print me 500 more.)

Barry Collector Con May 18 & 19 - £358.80
Saturday £205.39, Sunday £150.41

Colouring Books (various) - 7
Midsummer Nights Dream Team - 10 (sold out)
Findlay Macbeth - 4 (sold out)
Prince Of Denmark Street - 4
Richard The Third - 3
Blank Comic Book - 1
Socks superheroes - 13
Caricatures - too many to count. Some sold for £2 each, many converted into sales.

May 20 & 21 Colmore Juniors, King Heath
40 x Richard The Thirds @ £6 = £240

(Giving Cramlington a run for their money, most of the books were sold through kids paying via Parent Pay, I think 32 copies. Then Ruth the head of year bought the rest of the box (ie 40)).

And with Beaminster Book Festival's classes on Wednesday cancelled (only 11 tickets sold, so not worth the journey), those are my last chances to sell books this month.

TOTAL May 2024 = £1188.21

104 x Richard The Third
20 x Colouring Books
3 x Omnibus / all 3 Shakespeare
6 x Findlay Macbeth
6 x Prince Of Denmark Street
10 x Midsummer Night's Dream Team
1 x Tales From The Bible
