Lahore International Book Fair 2008
The 23rd Lahore International Book Fair at the Fortress stadium main ground was opened yesterday. The five-day mega book fair with the theme Education for All, Books for Peace was inaugurated by Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Justice (r) Ejaz Nisar. Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Book Fair he laid stress on the necessity of promoting book reading and improving the education system by all means.
The book- fair is becoming more and more popular and expanding each year. That is why publishers from around the world are attracted. Around 175 publishers from around the world, including the US, UK and South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries, would set up their stalls at the fair. The international publishers will offer attractive discounts and local publishers will give as much as 50 percent discounts on their books. Sounds good enough, no? :)
So, all you book-lovers out there hungry to discover the best selling authors, grab your wish-list and don’t miss this exciting and extraordinary literary event. It’s worth your while.
See you at the festival.
This is so mouth-watering. I must be rushing over the Sherpao Bridge by now…
A ha ha ha! And i must be LMHO!
I am really glad I visit this blog regularly! I live about a 3 mins drive from Fortress and I did not know the book fair was going on. I will take all the family tomorrow, inshallah!
@Atif Darr: Oh it’s our pleasure! We would love to hear about your review of the event. Just suggest us a story on the experience.
I went to the book fair yesterday and was really impressed by it. I bought tons of books from Liberty Books, because they were offering a generous 15% discount! :-)
