Barcelona hosts a book fair with major discounts and unique copies

For two days, the publisher Libros del Zorro Rojo opens its doors with a special fair. Books with minor flaws or out of print will be sold at discounts of up to 50%. An opportunity for readers and the curious. The final prices are surprising.

In Barcelona, finding books at a good price is not easy, but this week an unusual opportunity arises. The publisher Libros del Zorro Rojo is organising a fair in its own space, where visitors will be able to get hold of unique copies, out-of-print books or books with minor imperfections, at prices well below the usual level. The event will take place on 20 and 21 February, at 85 Pallars Street, and promises to attract both regular readers and those looking to discover the publishing world from the inside.

During the fair, each book will have a coloured label showing its price range. The discounts, which range from 20% to 50%, make it possible to find titles that normally cost between €12 and €20 for just €6 to €16. Highlighted books include works such as «Salvaje» by Emily Hughes, «Salomé» by Oscar Wilde illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, and «El libro de las camas» by Sylvia Plath with illustrations by Quentin Blake.

The event is not only intended for those looking for literary bargains. Authors and illustrators who want to show their work will also be able to take the opportunity to come along and share it in a relaxed and professional atmosphere. In addition, the fair offers the chance to learn first-hand about how an independent publisher works, something unusual in the city.

The initiative responds to a reality: buying books remains a pleasure, but the price can be an obstacle. For this reason, proposals such as this fair become an attractive alternative for those who want to expand their library without emptying their pockets, and for those who enjoy exploring the less visible side of Barcelona's publishing sector.

Libros del Zorro Rojo is an independent publisher based in Barcelona, recognised for its commitment to illustration and quality literature. Since its foundation, it has stood out for publishing carefully selected titles and for collaborating with internationally renowned authors and illustrators. Its space on Pallars Street has become a meeting point for lovers of illustrated books and for those looking for different publishing proposals in the city.
