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! :)
huhuhu... I wanna go too!
ReplyDeleteAw, why don't you come over to Manila for the next book fair? :)
ReplyDeleteIf God wills, I'd really love to.
ReplyDeleteI shared the website with fellow bibliophiles who might be able to go. Thanks for the info, Gabi! =)
BOOOOKSIES!!! :D
ReplyDelete"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.
ReplyDeleteAre books in the book fair really much cheaper than those in the bookstores?
ReplyDeleteTrue true! ;) I hope the three of us can meet up for a "D" session soon, Den! Regards to your family.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!
ReplyDeleteA 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. :)
