This Sunday, August 24, 2025, the 22nd Book Fair brings together writers, collectors and enthusiasts in Monclar-de-Quercy (Tarn-et-Garonne), in memory of its disappeared founders, Robert Linas and Robert Viader.
The twenty-second book fair, organized by association 7 to read, will take place in the multipurpose room, Esplanade des Trois-Lacs de Monclar-de-Quercy, this Sunday, August 24.
Robert Linas, founder of the show, disappeared in 2024, and Robert Viader (whose death we reported in our columns on July 30, 2025), would have liked this annual meeting, initiated with association 7 to read, continues after their disappearance, and this will be the case since Alain Jackel took over the reins of this summer event of culture in our town.
In addition to collectors who also work for the safeguarding of an art with multiple facets, more than twenty writers from Tarn-et-Garonne and neighboring departments will be present in tribute to our friends who founded this event.
