THE SETTING:

The weather is beautiful in late spring in Nevada County, and we recommend that you plan your visit to our Gold Rush Book Fair to allow yourself time to visit the many attractions here in the Gold Country. Use the LINKS under "Information" to your left to acquaint yourself with the area.

THE MATERIAL

At our annual GRBF, we are pleased that material which is offered represents a broad range of subject matter and pricing. There is literally "something for everyone", from the well-used reading copy to the upscale, scarce collectors gem, and everything in between.
