The Great Phoenix Book Fair gets set to open its doors

MORE than 18,000 well-sorted and recent books, CDs and DVDs will be available at the Great Phoenix Book Fair, taking place in the Dordogne later this month.

Hosted by the Phoenix animal charity, all items will be €1 a piece, with the popular crime and non-fiction sections bigger than before and even a good assortment of French books will be on offer for those who wish to improve their language skills.

For the first time, brand new, high quality books will be available for a steal at €2.50 each.

As if many thousands of books, CDs and DVDs isn’t enough, there will also be stalls with our famous Tombola, family puzzles and games, bric-a-brac, specialist antiquarian and children’s books and lots more.

Delicious home-made €1 savouries, tasty cakes, scones and other assorted goodies, along with hot and cold drinks will once again make it an unforgettable 'British' day in France.

So come and make a day of it, browse, meet new people, join friends, have lunch and enjoy yourself.

And most importantly, you’ll be supporting Phoenix Association to help care and re-home animals in need.

The Great Phoenix Book Fair, Saturday 26 October, Salle Municipale, 24140 Camsegret – on the N21 between Bergerac and Perigueux – doors open from 9.30am to 3.00pm.
