BOOK lovers from across the country will descend on Longridge this Easter Saturday as it stages is 16th annual second-hand book fair.

Around 30 book-sellers from across Britain will turn the town's civic hall into a bazaar for bibliophiles with volumes from as little as 50p to rare items around £200.

Sellers have been asked to bring along as wide a variety of literature as they can to satisfy the area's thirst for a good read.

The doors will open at 10am until 4.30pm and there is a cafe offering hot and cold refreshments.
