~ The Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Conference ~ Asheville, North Carolina ~ February 17 - 19, 2012 ~

"The most important weekend of the year for Arts & Crafts collectors." - The New York Times

Books, Magazines & More Show


Just as the original Arts & Crafts movement relied on such magazines as The Craftsman and The Fra to spread the word, the present day revival has also benefited from a number of publications, including books, newsletters, web sites and periodicals. The Books, Magazines & More Show at the Arts & Crafts Conference features a number of magazines and book publishers, representatives from such historical sites as the Gamble House and Craftsman Farms, sellers of both old and new books and authors signing their works.


Attendees who register for the three-day Conference Pass either directly through Bruce Johnson's office, this web site or by reserving a room at the Grove Park Inn do not need to purchase a separate ticket to any of the conference shows, including the Books, Magazines & More Show.


The general public may purchase a ticket at the door for $10 that includes entry to the Antiques Show, the Contemporary Craftsfirms Show and the Books, Magazines & More Show for all three days. Tickets for high school and college students are $5. There is no charge for children under the age of 14. Due to the crowded aisles, strollers must be checked at the ticket booth.


Hours for the Books, Magazines & More Show are Friday from 1:00pm until 6:00pm; Saturday from Noon until 6:00pm; and Sunday from 11:00am until 4:00pm.
