Book Fair 2006
http://www.manilabookfair.com/
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.
* The World Trade Center is at the Financial Area, Sen. Gil Puyat
(formerly Buendia) Avenue corner D. Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City.
