How to order extra books for your Book Fair

Posted on 16 February 2019

We aim to provide you with all the books you’ll need to satisfy every child at your Book Fair, but sometimes popular books sell out. What can you do to avoid disappointing the next child who arrives at the Book Fair, desperate for that book?

1. To avoid completely selling out of a book, we recommend using Last Copy Bookmarks, which can be downloaded from our website as part of The Resource Pack. Simply print them off, and place in the last copy of fast-selling or advertised books. When a child brings it to the cash desk, you can use the bookmark to make a note of the order, then return the book (with a fresh bookmark) to the bookcases, so visitors to the Book Fair know it’s still available.
2. To place your order, simply ring 0800 212 281 before 4pm the day before your Book Fair is due to be collected.
3. Wherever possible, your orders will be delivered by the driver when they come to collect your Book Fair.†
4. Don’t forget to take payment for any orders and add to your Book Fair takings before completing your Online Fair Report.
5. If you have any queries about ordering books at your Book Fair, give us a ring on 0800 212 281.

You can download a copy of the Order Form for your Book Fair on the Free Resources page.
