Buy, Swap and Sell - Tuesday 25th August 2026

Are you searching for equipment for bookbinding? The Guild has a variety of nipping presses, standing presses, laying presses, cabinets, hand tools, blocking machines, and materials available to members and friends.

We will hold our annual Buy, Swap and Sell after the AGM, which is scheduled for 25 August this year at St Faith’s. We will have some materials and hand tools available for sale at St Faith’s.

I also have a variety of larger or difficult-to-transport items stored at Narre Warren. Please feel free to email me at president{at}vbg.net.au to if you are interested in any of the larger items or to make an appointment to view them.

Please note that transporting heavy or large items to St Faith’s is difficult and only materials and hand tools will be available at the AGM.

See the images for further details.

James Finger
President
