Book Fair

A fair is the display of different items of necessary things for the consumers and buyers. To get recognition of products widely or to make the products popular a fair is held. Therefore, a book fair does the same purpose as it looks for the reader’s interest. A book fair is very much popular with the readers, men of letters and the authors. The largest book fair in our country is the book fair held in February to observe the Language Movement Day in the Bangla Academy premises. A book fair promotes the publication of books to spread education and widen the sphere of our knowledge. It increases the reader’s interest on reading books. Bangla Academy sponsors the fair and different publications make stalls to advertise their perspective books. Story books, novels, books on various dramas, books on poems, autobiographical books, books on science and technology, books on raising social awareness, etc. are usually available in a book fair. Recently I have visited a book fair and gathered a lot of experiences. Some writers are also seen sitting in the stalls and their fans gather there for autographs. However, by patronizing such kinds of fair, maintaining the discipline and minimizing the cost of books, I think, such kind of fair can be made successful.
