Every time you attend a book fair, there are so many things that happen more than buying or selling books. Some are funny, some are annoying and some are just there. I had some experiences at the last National International Book Fair, Lagos recently: a journalist that does not read; a very insistent Mr.Know all writer and me book sellers that parade themselves as publishers.
You can read more about my experiences here.
Two weeks ago I was in Gaborone for our first tiny book fair and I found a new publisher from RSA and I'm about to sign a contract. Tomorrow I leave for Cape Town Book Fair and am looking forward to a wild time- and quie a few lovelooks. YES I do love fairs!
