About the Commons

A shared resource for the world of books

Bookfair is built on a simple idea: some things belong to everyone.

The words "book fair" have meant something for over 500 years — from the Frankfurt fairs that followed Gutenberg's press to the school gyms where children discover the joy of reading. For participants, it means a gathering place, a commons, where book lovers come together.

This site honors that tradition. Bookfair.com operates as a shared domain — with regional fairs, topical communities, and specialized marketplaces each reaching readers under a single domain.

Fair organizers, publishers, and authors can claim their corner of this commons. Readers can discover the full breadth of the literary world in one place. Together, we keep "book fair" what it's always been: a space for everyone who loves books.

How It Works

For Fair Organizers

Claim your subdomain (e.g., melbourne.bookfair.com) and host your fair's digital presence.

For Authors & Publishers

Join a topical marketplace (audiobooks, indie, genre-specific) and reach readers directly.

For Readers

Discover books, find events, and explore the literary world — all in one place.
