The Book Fair!!!

Nothing signals the start of Christmas season like the annual Manila book fair. My family and I have been faithful devotees since ... I can't remember, maybe when I was still a toddler. :) They used to hold it in SM Megamall. I have pictures of last year's book fair (Hi Christian!!!) which was held at the World Trade Center, Manila (speaking of World Trade... it's the 7-year anniversary of 9/11. Let us continue to pray for the families of those who perished, as well as the countries who went to war because of that fateful day).

The 2008 Manila Book Fair starts tomorrow and runs until Sept.16, at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

See y'all at the Book Fair! :)

  2. If God wills, I'd really love to.
    I shared the website with fellow bibliophiles who might be able to go. Thanks for the info, Gabi! =)

  3. "Nothing signals the start of Christmas season like the annual Manila book fair." --> In true Pinoy fashion: the start of Christmas as soon as "ber" begins appearing in the month names.

  4. Are books in the book fair really much cheaper than those in the bookstores?

  6. Hi Kim!

    A lot of the books are sold at regular price but the sheer number of titles available, all in one place, still make the bookfair a valuable haven for rare finds. Also, a great number of book sellers give discounts (ranging from 10% to as much as 50% in some cases) during the fair. :)
