Verbatim Books is Bringing a Mini Book Fair to North Park

Verbatim Books has been quietly building something great with the North Park Community Fair – a monthly gathering on the first Saturday of every month that brings together local artists, makers, readers, and small businesses in the heart of the neighborhood.

This month’s edition has a good hook: a Mini Book Fair, a smaller, more curated version of their beloved North Park Book Fair.

A Curated Taste of Something Bigger

A select group of independent booksellers and literary vendors will be set up along North Park Way, from 29th to Ray Street. Browse through carefully curated selections, chat with the people who actually know and love these books, and soak up the kind of local literary energy that North Park does really well.

Worth noting – the full North Park Book Fair is coming later this year, and this is a great way to get a feel for what that’s all about before the bigger event rolls around.

Browse, Discover, Connect

No agenda required. Come with a title in mind or just show up and see what finds you. Either way, you’re spending a Saturday morning around good books, passionate booksellers, and a neighborhood that genuinely shows up for this kind of thing. Hard to beat that.

See you there!

Grab a coffee, wander the fair, and see what the community is reading right now.

📆 Saturday, June 6 | 10 AM – 5 PM
📍 North Park Way, from 29th to Ray St.

See you there, San Diego!
