– ABOUT US –
The Book Fayre is owned and run by Kath & Reggie – a husband and wife team; previously a primary school teacher and RAF pilot. We are helped by our lovely
staff member Sue – alongside our super weekender, Alfie. We are also honoured to provide work experience for community volunteers
and school students. The Book Fayre is a member of the Booksellers Association.
Kath
Before opening the shop, Kath,
a mother of four, was a primary school teacher, and knew nothing about the book trade. A chance conversation in a pub led to the establishment of her first bookshop.
Kath is a bit of a science geek and loves cats. Her most frequently read book is ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ and her favourite film is ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. She drinks espresso and red wine. She is married to Reg.

Sue
Sue’s favourite colour is green. Sometimes even her hair is green. She is our second hand book expert, and our posting elf. Always on the go, her energy is admirable, especially when walking her two boisterous dogs. Sue could frequently throw the shop computer and printer out of the window. Her favourite drink isn’t red wine.

Reg
Reg used to fly planes in the RAF. Now he shares his time between flying simulators and running the second hand book department, alongside the military and aviation gifts department. He gets frustrated by slow internet connections. He drinks Guinness, strong coffee, and Guinness. And red wine. Reg’s taste in books is wide ranging and eclectic. He collects Stephen King and Ian Fleming first editions. He is luckily married to Kath.
