The 27th Manila International Book Fair
by KV Villareal, Web and Mobile Producer
There are bookworms, and there are BOOKWORMS. If you’re one of those willing to brave the crowds and the long lines (and when we say long, we mean LOOOOONG), tilt your head to one side for hours (and risk going home with a stiff neck) while going through all the different genres known to man, or rummage through piles and piles of books just to get that title you’ve been looking for (at a really good deal, of course), then it’s best that you visit the Manila International Book Fair.
The biggest book fair in the country has been attended by more than fifty thousand people in just a span of a week, participated by over a hundred exhibitors (both local and foreign), and showcasing hundreds of thousands of different publications—from books to magazines, periodicals to journals.
