Highlights from our trade show ranges
We’re busy at Bookspeed HQ, gearing up for trade show season. It’s one of our favourite times of the year and we can’t wait to share our selection of our hand-picked titles across all our most popular categories.
If you are still making your mind up about whether to visit our stand this September, here’s a sneak preview of some of the themes we will be focusing on.
Key themes
Mushrooms
Mushroom motifs have been popping up everywhere for some time now, but autumn feels like the perfect time to embrace this trend. Our newly curated Mushroom collection offers books that will sit comfortably with the cottagecore trend and complement the rich autumnal colours that work so well for the season ahead.

Embracing winter
We all love to moan about the British weather, especially in winter when constant rain, biting wind and cold temperatures can be expected. But instead of wrapping ourselves in blankets and staying indoors, we’re being encouraged to get outdoors and embrace the harsher climate. Blame Scandinavian lifestyles or blame Wim Hoff but getting comfortable with the cold is something more of us should be doing this winter. And we have some brilliant books to make it all seem aspirational and fun.

Angela Harding
Our Angela Harding products are consistently popular, and the autumn/winter season feels like the perfect time to display them. Her iconic illustrations look fantastic on jigsaws, diaries, notebooks and on book covers, and work well in a range of retail settings. We’ll be showcasing some new products, alongside some familiar favourites.

Christmas
While Christmas is often focused heavily on children, we’ve come across some gorgeous adult books this year. Advent and vegan Christmases are emerging as key festive themes, and there are some new quiz books and puzzles to look out for too.

What's new
We’re looking forward to introducing some fab new products this season too. We’re super excited about the Happily Puzzles brand of jigsaws. These products will look great among colourful displays and will offer puzzle lovers a fun and quirky gift option. You can find these on our website in the Jigsaws for Adults collection or by searching Happily.
We are also delighted to be selling Paperblanks products this year. Our offer includes stunning journals and jigsaws. You can browse Paperblanks products on our website.
