Gerry Mosdell (1935 - 2024) opened his first antiquarian and secondhand book shop in Barnstaple Devon in 1964.  He started the Provincial Booksellers Fairs in London in 1972, which became the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association, PBFA that we know today.  He retired as Hon.

Glenda & Gerry Mosdell exhibited mainly at Book Fairs, including many International Book Fairs on the West Coast of America, after the shop closed in 1995.  They moved to North Wales in 1999.
