Points: Fair, a feast of books — Example of a particular fair — Helps national feeling.
A book fair is like a feast of books. To see so many books and books of so many varieties at a time is a wonderful experience.
Everybody will not buy every book. But the kind of books we are interested in can be seen in plenty only in the fair. One can compare here the books by different publishers. Maps, paperbacks, art books, reference books, children’s books, technical books, dictionaries and encyclopedias — everything is before us. All stalls are open for everybody. The book fair is an appetizer for further reading. It is a mirror of modern knowledge explosion.
