Special Guests 2026
Special Guests are creators and bookish partners we’re excited to highlight for their unique contributions to the Book Fair at Bel Air experience. From a beloved influencer to our featured bookstore and special-edition partner, these guests bring extra creativity, excitement, and community energy to the fair. They help make the day more immersive, memorable, and uniquely bookish for readers of all ages.

Official Bookstore
Sweet Nothings
We’re thrilled to announce Sweet Nothings as the official bookstore partner for Book Fair at Bel Air 2026!
That means attendees will be able to purchase books by all of our featured authors — plus plenty of other bookish goodness — right at the fair. No scrambling, no guessing, just joyful browsing and meeting your favorite authors in one place.

Special Edition Partner
Ink & Edge
Madison is the owner and creative force behind Ink & Edge, a reader-run, artist-led business dedicated to bringing color and joy to books through custom, human-designed edges — created by readers, for readers.
What began as a hobby in 2022 (with an airbrush and a dream!) has grown into a full-time business built on craftsmanship, creativity, and care. Every design is created by Madison or one of the talented human artists she works with, printed in house, and proudly anti-generative AI. Ink & Edge does not outsource labor — everything is made with intention, right down to the last detail.
At the fair, Madison will be offering:
Special edition books
Custom sprayed and printed edges
A chance to see truly unique book art up close
If you love beautiful books, thoughtful design, and supporting independent artists, this is one stop you won’t want to miss.

Influencer / Guest Judge
P. B. Squamer
Known on BookTok for their witty, honest, and emotionally charged takes on all things reading, PBSquamer is the voice behind your favorite morally gray character debates, fantasy heartbreak spiral videos, and perfectly timed book-boyfriend roasts. Equal parts humor and heart, their content celebrates the joy (and chaos) of being a reader.
At the fair, PBSquamer will be:
Judging some fun contests (announcements coming soon!)
Hanging out to meet attendees
Taking photos and chatting books
