Yes, we also have annual book fair here in shanghai, where people can see books in various categories from various provinces and imported from foreign countries.
At such events, libraries and universities send people to select what they need, but were not notified by the ordering catalogues. In a few days, large numbers of orders are accomplished to promote the publishing industry. Meanswhile those who like book enjoy themselves as if in a big feast. They bring back piles of books and journals to satisfy their desire for wisdom.
Normally I will go around and pick up a few to my interest. My left eye is failing me, and I need to settle it soon.

Yes, I enjoy going to the book fair. Very soon there will be the annual book fair of my city in the month of January and I am looking forward to it. The best part is that a wide range of books is available in all prices…there is something for everybody. Even if one cant buy the original books, pirated versions at much cheaper rates are also available.

Yes, I love to go to book fairs but unfortunately we seldom have it here and if they have it I will never fail to go. Here I can scout for good books and discover new release or discover new writers which many book stores do not have yet. and more often book fairs have discounted prices.

I love to go to book fairs because I love to read books. I also believe that books are one of the best gifts we can give to someone, well, that is if the person loves reading. I seldom find book fairs in my place that is why I had been to a lace like that for twice...

Hi Dio, I love book-fairs and book sales. There is usually an international book fair every year, with books from other countries as well. But what I enjoy most are the book sales, where I can get the books I want, at promotional prices. And I enjoy looking through the books, and can easily spend half the day there!

I love to go to book fairs. You can find good used books at decent prices, much less than what the bookstores charge, and there are always a lot of hard to find books. Many times, too, some books will be in very good condition and will cost you much less there.
If there aren't many book fairs in your area, try asking about them at your library. Sometimes there are some, but people don't just put enough publicity out about them and libraries sometimes know where they are. If there aren't any book fairs some libraries will sell used books as well. If I'm driving in other states and I see a library I always stop and ask, just in case.
