London Anarchist Bookfair

http://anarchistbookfair.org.uk/

If you want to book a stall, meeting or advert in the programme, please fill in the booking form available on the website and email back to us at [email protected] or post to us at London Anarchist Bookfair, c/o Freedom Bookshop, Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street, London, E1 7QX.

You can pay via the paypal button located on the "booking" page of the website.

or send us a cheque made payable to “Anarchist Bookfair”.

It is possible we may reject your booking (Trots/people in political parties and stalls not related to anarchist or anarchist related activities please note). If you think this may mean you, please email us first to check. Also, because of the shortage of space, you may not get as much space as you asked for.

- Stalls -

Last year we had over 100 stalls. We are aiming for about the same this year. Some of the stalls were in smaller “feeder” rooms. We may do this again, but not for established anarchist groups/campaigns (unless you want a room of your own) or people who book early enough. But, this may mean groups don’t get wall space if they ask for it, as a lot of this was in the “feeder” rooms. If a number of campaigns do want a room to themselves (between 6 and 8 tables) contact us to discuss it – as it actually did work for some groups, who advertised in advance where they would be.

The tables/stalls are roughly 6ft x 2ft. You can book half a stall if you want.
If you are prepared to give an hour’s labour contribution during the day (giving out programmes, rattling collection buckets, etc) we will reduce the cost of a stall. Costs are all on the attached booking form.

- Meetings -

There will be nine rooms for meetings/speakers/discussions. Three of the rooms hold about 100 people each (one is a lecture style room). One room holds 300 people. The rest hold between 15 and 40 people. If you need a DVD etc, we need to know in advance – not a day before! To try and make our lives a little easier in the general confusion of the day, we ask groups to give us a name of someone who will be a contact for the meeting. As ever, we're keen to prod people into having more interesting, varied and challenging meetings rather than just a re-hash of your meeting last year. We want the bookfair to be provocative: we think the meetings should be part of taking anarchist ideas forward.
Programme

We print 3,000 copies of the programme, which we circulate around London before the bookfair and give out free on the day. If you want to advertise in it, costs are £100 a page (fractions of a page are charged proportionally).
Publicity

Nearer the time of the event, if you need posters or leaflets, contact us or collect them from Freedom Bookshop, 84b Whitechapel High St, London E1. Our costs for the Bookfair in 2012 will be nearly £9,000 so donations from gigs, collections, workplaces, suing the police or from any other source actually will be willingly accepted.
