Other information
Book sales:
The PBS will man one central till at the fair to encourage visitors to browse all the tables and make the process of purchasing books as straightforward as possible.
We will need a full list of titles a week before the event, grid to follow.
All sales will be reported to publishers within 2 weeks and sales money transferred by BACs.
Inpress will send publishers an invoice for the cost of their table, to be settled (by BACs or cheque) before the 28th September.
Book deliveries/POS:
All publishers are responsible for arranging a book delivery and collection at the end of the festival.
We are happy to package up your books but you must supply a box and return delivery address labels.
Banners and POS are welcome, publishers are encouraged to attend the festival and man their tables, however we understand this is a busy time of year, so if you are unable to be there for the full four days, the PBS can manage the set up, sales and breakdown and take note of any customer queries.
