Book Fair

RCCC is for book lovers…

We all developed a lifelong appreciation for books from those rolling carts in our school gym, right? Well, allow us to bring you that same joy and nostalgia at the Rose City Comic Con Book Fair—now in partnership with the world’s largest independent bookstore, Powell’s Books!

Book Fair is a headquarters for lit lovers and is located both in the Exhibit Hall [where you can buy books and get them signed] and in our programming rooms [where you can hear view unique, thought-provoking panels]. Whether you’re a book-devouring literary super fan, a modern-day Melville, or simply looking for your next read, you won’t want to miss this experience!

BOOK FAIR 2023

More information about our Book Fair will be available here soon. Stay tuned!
