Hurrah for book lovers! In 2 months' time, the event of the year will soon arrive!
The Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) will be held on September 15(Wed.)-19(Sun.) 2010 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City from 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Time to dig through the bargain piles at the corners! Don't you just feel heavenly when you find great books on interesting topics at such affordable prices? Freebies aside, you'd wish there'd be more time to be lost in the array of pages you find yourself in. Sometimes, you'd chance upon those rare books you won't necessarily find elsewhere. There are just some moments that make this book-hunting adventure worth the wait.
The publishing industry managed to put up this yearly fair since 1979. It probably took a significant amount of effort from the organizers to bring a wide selection of reading materials accessible to the public for a 5-day-long event. Exhibitors prepare for this by reserving their spaces a year ahead. I'd say if reading were a way of connecting people and transforming lives, then having this industry thrive gives me hope for our country's future.
