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.
For those who haven’t picked up a book in quite a while, we suggest that you take a time out and visit the World Trade Center. The fair runs from August 30 to September 3, from 10am to 8pm daily. Let out the shopaholic in you and get yourself some brain food, with whatever tickles your fancy—be it a chicklit by Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada is showing soon!) or Kinsella (possibly every shopaholic’s fave), a classic by Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, or a sci-fi novel by Gaiman or Lucas.
For more information, visit their website at www.manilabookfair.com.
* The World Trade Center is at the Financial Area, Sen. Gil Puyat (formerly Buendia) Avenue corner D. Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City.
* Don’t forget to visit Summit’s booth! We’re located at Stalls 174 & 175.
