Glasgow's Autonomous Bookfair yesterday, Saturday 2nd. March was a resounding success. Literally hundreds poured through the door on a continuous stream, the stalls were plentiful, varied and colourful, the crowds friendly and showed considerable interest in the stalls and workshops. It was like a breath of fresh air to Glasgow's radical scene. As I said before, it has been a while since Glasgow held a bookfair, and the success of this one proves that there is a desire to support such events. Everybody gains, those involved and those who turned up. Leaflets, books and pamphlets etc., circulate to a wider audience, new contacts are made, old ones renewed, ideas cross between individuals and groups, all positive.
All that remains to be said is a big thank-you to Mark and all those who helped make it possible, and for others to come forward and help organise the next one, and hopefully it will be an even a bigger event, and an annual one.
