Academic Book Fair

The academic book fair was held last July 12-16, 2011 at the Megatrade Hall 3, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. The event featured academic books, journals, references, and other educational materials. I thought the event will focus only on books since it is called "book" fair but I was surprised when I saw educational videos and audio materials. Students, teachers, librarians, independent publishers, representatives, and working adults were the most expected guests.

We went there July 16, Saturday and we expect to see many people there knowing it is the last day already. But the staff there said many people came during the opening.

This event gave us the opportunity to avail and purchase books that we can use in our studies and other necessities. Unfortunately, the books are expensive so we weren't able to buy one.

 This was taken by the people from book fair. We told them that it is our project and luckily, they are very willing to take picture of us.

This was taken by Tins. We are looking for Mass Com books.

The academic book fair help us know some of the most established book companies such as Academic Book Sales, Catholic Book Center, Goodwill Bookstore, UST Publishing House, UP Press and Ateneo University Press. I wish there was also St. Scholastica Press. :)

I learned that there are a lot of books all over the world aside from we always see, what we always use and what we always know. Book fair will always be important to us students because this is the time where we can see, read and avail books that are limited only.
