October 2012 Organised by Word Power Books, the 16th Edinburgh Independent Radical Book Fair will take place in Edinburgh at the end of October. The book fair celebrates themes, writers and small, independent presses which may be neglected by more mainstream festivals. Every year it brings to Edinburgh a mixture of readings, book launches, film screenings, exhibitions and workshops. The programme never fails to deliver provocative and progressive events, with talks and readings.
