Pledges start with only $1 / €1 / £1 per month.
This time on Bookish Talk, we discuss the upcoming Boekbindbeurs België with Tanja Rakic from the Dutch seller of all sorts of bookish stuff Boektotaal. They have picked up the bookbinding fair in Sint-Niklaas from the previous organizer late in 2019 but haven't had a chance to run it since. So that's the first time for them and the 24th time for the Belgian fair!
Please come over to Sint-Niklaas on the 10th of April if you are anywhere near. And even if not, while most of the visitors come from Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and the UK, there always are people coming from even further away!
