Book Fairs

Book fairs are held throughout the year at various locations in the North West. More information on dates and venues for these fairs may be found elsewhere on this website. The Barlow Book Fair, held in Edgworth, is a member of the North West Book Fairs collective.

Books, ephemera & collectables

We sell antique, vintage and second-hand books, ephemera, and collectable items. Although eclectic in nature we take a particular interest in Lancashire related items.   

Novels

Novels written by Ged Melia are available on Amazon, other online book retailers, and in some independent bookshops. Further background detail on the stories and themes within these novels may be found within this website.
