Tens of thousands of remainders, bargain books, discount CDs, DVDs and
stationery items are on display. The majority of exhibitors are British
with a strong US presence. Both Fairs (January and September) are a
mixture of shell scheme and table-top display, and are Trade Only.
Run on a Sunday and Monday, the CIANA Remainder & Promotional Book
Fairs are of a size that allows buyers enough time to see the latest
acquisitions from their existing suppliers as well as to explore new
companies, all under one roof. They are designed primarily for placing
and taking orders and provide a relaxed atmosphere in which to do
business.
Both Fairs now take place in London, at different venues. There are
over 40% more remainder companies exhibiting at a CIANA Fair than at
the London Book Fair in April.
The January Fair is timed so that UK buyers can restock in one visit
after the Christmas and New Year sales, and overseas buyers can
purchase for the extended period until the spring book fairs in April
and May.
Visitors come from the UK and all over the
world with budgets running from hundreds of pounds to million of
dollars. There are no restrictions on the quantity of a title that can
be ordered – you can buy one copy or a hundred. Most wholesalers have a
minimum order value and it is normal to be asked for trade references
if you are a new customer.
Buyers come from single shops and multiple retailers, mail order and
online companies, wholesalers, second-hand and antiquarian bookshops
and traditionally non-book outlets.
