PBFA Young Book Collector Competition
PBFA Young Book Collector Competition
The 2024 competition is now closed, but it will be back in 2025. More details later.
We’re celebrating our 50th anniversary by celebrating YOU – the Great British Book Collector. Over the last 50 years the PBFA has helped thousands of enthusiasts build up collections on every topic under the sun. Now we’d like to see some of them!
* You must have at least 12 related books in your collection.
* The competition is open to anyone resident in the UK, aged under 30 on 31st December 2024.
* The closing date for entries is 30th November 2024. (Competition now closed)
* The prize of £500 will be awarded at the York Book Fair on Saturday 11th January 2025.
Now all you have to do is tell us about your collection and send us a few photographs. Please limit your entry to 500 words - about two sides of A4.
It might help to consider:
Why, and when, did you start collecting?
What is the theme of your collection?
What inspired you to start this collection?
Where do you find items for your collection?
How do you decide what to include in your collection?
What will happen to the collection in the future?
Please send your entry as a PDF document to info@pbfa.org.

Signed books: part signature, part story
Signed books have long held a special place in the world of second-hand and antiquarian bookselling. For some collectors, they offer a tangible link to a favourite writer; for others, they’re a savvy investment. But how do you know what’s worth buying — and how do you avoid the fakes?
