VNSA USED BOOK SALE SCHEDULE

The 69th Annual VNSA Used Book Sale will be held Feb. 14-15, 2026 at the Arizona State Fairgrounds, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Because VNSA wants everyone to have an equal opportunity to purchase books at the sale, we do NOT provide a Preview Sale to the public.  There is no admission fee (although the State Fairgrounds charges a parking fee), and entry to the sale is “first come, first served.”

LOCATION

Arizona State Fairgrounds, Ag Center Building
1826 West McDowell
Phoenix, AZ 85007

ADMISSION & PARKING

Admission to the VNSA Book Sale is free. Please be aware that the Arizona State Fairgrounds charges a parking fee that supports the Fairgrounds. VNSA does not receive any money from parking fees.

The parking fees for the 2025 Book Sale will be $12.00 per day (the Arizona State Fairgrounds set this fee and could be subject to change). For confirmation of parking fees charged by the Fairgrounds, or other information on the Fairgrounds, consult with the Arizona State Fair and Exposition at www.azstatefair.com or call 602-252-6771.

No food, pets, or weapons are permitted in the VNSA Book Sale.

LINING UP/CAMPING OUT BEFORE THE SALE

On both days of the sale the Fairgrounds will open the gates at 5 a.m.  No overnight camping is allowed in the parking lot. This is a Fairgrounds decision, as VNSA does not rent nor have any control over the parking lot.  VNSA also does not benefit from the parking fees charged by the Arizona State Fairgrounds. 

Please do not plan to camp out in line the night before.

PRICING

VNSA sells hundreds of books, media, and other related items at prices significantly reduced from retail prices.  Except for books in the Sets Area, books are marked with a price sticker on the spine, upper right cover, and/or inside the front cover.  All unmarked standard-size paperbacks are $3.00.

All items are half-price all day Sunday (except for the books in Rare & Unusual).
