Thousands of bargains at March Book and Record Fair

A local long-running book dealership, Zardoz Books & Records, is hosting an Open Day and Bookfair next month.

The event, on Sunday 8th March in Hawkeridge near Westbury, promises something for every collector and enthusiast, with thousands of £1 books, vinyl LPs, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, plus a wide range of music and TV memorabilia, posters, artwork and collectible toys.

Zardoz has been a well-known name in the world of vintage paperbacks for over 30 years, specialising in science fiction, mystery and classic Penguin and Pan editions, and more recently added a wide range of music, movie and pop culture treasures.

“Our last book fair proved really popular and this time, we have more stock and an even greater variety,” said owner Maurice Flanagan, pictured right.

“We have operated as Zardoz Books for over 30 years, initially with vintage paperbacks via mail order from our Westbury warehouse and then via our own website as well as Amazon, ABE, Biblio and Alibris.

“But since moving into our new unit in Hawkeridge, we have branched out considerably into music, movie media, artwork and toys and the Open Day and Book Fair will give people the chance to come along and see what we’ve got on offer.

“There will be other dealers, and besides our £1 books, there will be thousands of vinyl LPs, CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays. We also have a good stock of music and TV-related memorabilia, posters and toys.”

The Open Day and Bookfair is on Sunday 8th March, 11am to 4pm, while the unit is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday. In addition to in-person sales, Zardoz also trades online via their website and platforms such as Amazon, ABE, Biblio, Alibris, Discogs and eBay.

Zardoz Books & Records is located at Unit 4, Mill Lane, Hawkeridge, Westbury, BA13 4LD. For more details, email zardoz@blueyonder.co.uk or call 07863 560714. Their full catalogue of over 100,000 items is also available at www.zardozbooks.co.uk.
