French book Fairs

 I'm sure you know all about these as it was your business but maybe Taglines readers could be interested. We went to Cahors yesterday with my sister and in a hall near the Pont Valentre was an extensive antique and secondhand book exhibition/sale. Of course, nearly all the books were in French but there were a few interesting English books and also quite a few French versions of English authors and childrens' books. The quality of books was very good. There was also some piano music and LPs. Whilst there I collected info on the following events:
 Nontron - 11th Salon du livre ancien. 7 October. Salles des Fetes 
Limoges - XIX edition Salon du livre ancien. 27-28 Oct 2012. Palais des Expositions, Bd R Schumann
Montauban - Le Dimanche des Bouquinistes. 2 Dec 2012. (no location given on handout)
Villefranche-du-Rouergue - 13th Salon du Livre Ancient et Moderne. 30-31 Mars 2013
 Entry is free in all cases.
