Is there an entry fee to attend?
There is no entry fee to attend the Lifeline Book Fair Powered by Booktopia. Voluntary gold coin donation at the door is appreciated. All donations and purchases support Lifeline's crisis support services.
What stock and price ranges should you expect to see?
The Lifeline Book Fair Powered by Booktopia will be unique compared to what you would typically find at our Book Fairs. This Book Fair will feature mostly new and recently published books supplied by Booktopia, some with slight imperfections, but most in near-new condition. These books have been carefully sorted, priced, and packed by our Lifeline volunteers over recent months.
These books are generally priced between 25% to 40% of their recommended retail price, depending on their condition and publication date. You’ll find a wide range of categories, including University Texts, Professional Books, Study Aids, Manga, Fiction, and more. In addition, we will have a selection of our pre-loved books, available in select categories, priced similarly to our other Lifeline Book Fairs.
Prices start from as low as $3 for certain pre-loved books, with higher-value books (such as University Texts or premium editions) priced in the range of $10-$30, or occasionally higher for specialised books.
Regardless of the category, all books will be heavily discounted compared to market prices. All proceeds from the Book Fair support direct delivery and services by Lifeline Members across Sydney.
Don’t forget to bring your bags!
And please, do not drop book donations off at the fair.
Please use one of our three drop-off locations instead.
