8th International Thessaloniki Book Fair

This lasted from the 5th till the 8th of May;it was in the International Trade Fair grounds and it was with a free entrance.So I went four times. I saw lots of books,listened to talks,met with publishers and authors who signed their books,took part in a children's book presentation activity,bought books that their writers signed and got lots of free books as well. All in all it was an excellent experience.
