Books take over Madrid. The Book Fair will turn the Retiro Park into the biggest bookshop in the world, during two weeks and three days. Almost all the books published in Spain will be on sale in the more than three hundred stands in this fair.
The genre par excellence at the Book Fair is the novel, although children and teenagers' literature is also the main protagonist of many activities in this fair and seems very attractive to visitors. For two weeks and three days, the Retiro Park will become a space to approach the most recently published books as well as to renew one's interest in classical Literature.
But the Book Fair is not only a place to get acquainted with the latest books. It is also a meeting point for publishers and their public and, mainly, for writers and readers. The greatest part of this event will be those moments devoted to book signing. The Fair is also a space to talk about books, to reflect about everything related to reading and to discuss issues related to literature creation and culture in general.
An amazing set of programmed events confirm the dynamism of Madrid's Book Fair and its capacity to attract the public: conversations with authors round tables, lectures, practical workshops on literature, concerts, exhibitions hundreds of activities that will surely turn this event into something that will go beyond the world of books.
You can read the programme and the activities that will be held in the different halls as well as the book signing events at www.ferialibromadrid.com. The Book Fair has been organised by Madrid's Booksellers Association, Madrid's Publishers' Association and Madrid's Book Distributors Association
