Bookmarkets
An important part of the meetings of the Dutch Jules Verne Society is the internal bookmarket. Members sell each other books, films and other material. Even seasoned collectors can still find something interesting here.
The Society also participates in other bookmarkets on a regular basis. In the past, we have been on bookmarkets in Bredevoort, Delfshaven and Utrecht. Since 2001, participating in the Dordtse Boekenmarkt has been a regular activity of the Dutch Jules Verne Society. This bookmarket takes place on the first Sunday in July. Over the past few years, it has become tradition that our stand is located in the Voorstraat, near the Kolffstraat and the Scheffersplein (see map).
The items that we sell are provided by the members of the Dutch Jules Verne Society, who donate 20% of the profit they make to the Society. We only sell items related to Jules Verne.
The main part is books, of course (1864 – today); not only in Dutch, but also titles in French, English, German, Spanish and other languages. Besides books, we occasionally offer other items, such as an Around the World in 80 Days game.
You can also find our own publications:
- Old copies of our magazine the Verniaan, printed copies as well as CDs;
- Bibliographies and compendia;
- Other publications.
Obviously, there are always enthusiastic members available to answer your questions!
