James Bond novels were among the books at a special Oxford Brookes event.

Around 70 dealers attended the weekend PBFA Oxford Book Fair at Oxford Brookes University held on April 18 and April 19.

These dealers were reportedly offering tens of thousands of rare, collectable and second-hand books, maps and manuscripts, including part of Ian Fleming's James Bond series and by Jane Austen.

Blackwell's and Hatchards were among the sellers present at the fair with novels by Aldous Huxley and Virginia Woolf also up for sale.

Organised by Grace Barham and Tom Lintern-Mole of the Premier Book Fair Association, items were on offer from as low as £2 to over £1,000 with food and drink available from an on-site cafe.

The PBFA has further announced that there will be a one-day fair at Oxford Brookes again, on Saturday October 17.
