PBF          School Book Fairs

Personalized Book Fairs believes that people know quality children's literature.  We've found that the best way to increase bookselling at your book fair is to provide bookstore quality titles and a greater selection. The more diverse the titles the better the chance of having something there for everyone. 

Willie Nelson TonightWe are a family owned company and therefore our top criteria for book selections can be and are the literary and educational benefits your children deserve. There is no pressure on us to push slow selling in-house titles. With over 1000 titles, (from over 50 publishers), included in our book fairs ,we provide the largest array of children's literature available from any book fair.

What does "Personalized" mean?
"Personalized"  refers to the picking and packing of each individual fair.  It is based on each school's enrollment, grade levels, and input.  This way all titles are relevant to your needs and no two book fairs are alike
.


Two types of presentation

Our fairs can be delivered in rolling bookcases, (like the national guys), or in boxes where the plan is to display the books on tabletops. The best selling technique is the tabletops because this allows for the best presentation.  It also results on average in about a 15% increase in sales over bookcases. 

 That said we know it's tough to find the volunteers and the time to make fund-raising work, therefore bookcases remain the most popular choice.  Our bookcases unique in design:

  1. They are made of wood giving the sale a bookstore or library feel. 
  2. They open up on both sides -- having wings if you will.  The cases open up forming a "T" shape.  This makes the cases more stable and allows us to get more than twice as many selections onto our bookcases as our competitors.

Those selections filling the bookcases start with a set booklist of approximately 1000 titles, (some of which are available for your perusal in our Spine-Breaker catalogue).  We will send you an advanced copy of our current booklist and ask you and your staff to look it over.

  *Please note that the list is of the titles that you will   be receiving, not a list to chose from. So if  you do nothing, you will get them all!*

 After you've given it the once over you may add or subtract any titles you wish. We will even make our best effort to bring in titles from publishers we do not normally carry.


 

  • If sell-outs do occur we try to have backorders with us at the time of pick-up.
  • Books are delivered in quantity.
      Students buy now.
  • No inventory is kept on your end.
 

It is our true belief that your book fair should raise both money and reading levels!

With all the fundraisers parents now get bombarded with shouldn't your "educational" book fair truly sell quality books--- not pencils, erasers and things that glitter?!
