On Saturday (Jan 12,2008) evening, me and my wife went to the 31st Chennai Book Fair which is organized by the Booksellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI).
There are more than 500 book stalls of various publishers under a single roof. It covered mostly all the varieties of book . Computer games, kids rhyme CDs, Tamil Software stalls are also there. Good buffet for the book worms and a good feast for the people who loves reading. Need a whole day to visit all the stalls. Committee members made superb arrangements. Book stalls are arranged in row wise. Book stall name lists are displayed in the beginning of each row. It makes the visitor to go to their favourite publications directly. Enough space to visit all the stalls. Parking and Canteen facilities are good.
We begun to browse the stall around 5.30pm. We covered less than 200 stalls. We bought 8 books, among them five are Tabu Shankar's book. We started from there @ 9.15pm.
If you want to spend your time in a good manner, please visit the book fair. The book fair would be on till January 17 at St. George’s School between 2 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. on working days and 11 a.m. and 8.30 p.m. on holidays.
