We are Edinburgh’s alternative, independent and entirely bookshop run flea market of books and ideas- the Radical Book Fair showcases the best in radical and progressive publishing and ideas for building a better tomorrow.

Our theme for 2021 was Futures Worth Fighting For ! We championed radical politics & imagination, conjuring a more just and beautiful world, and exploring how we bring those visions to life.
