The annual Chennai Book Fair organised by the Book Sellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI), is back, with the dates of the event being announced. According to sources, the 38th edition of the exhibition is scheduled to be held from 9 January to 21 January at the YMCA Physical Education College Ground in Nandanam.
The applications to the book stalls, which are expected to be over 500, are yet to be issued. Sources say that the 2015`s event would consist of fewer stalls as compared to previous years, as the width of the walkway is to be increased, and that there would be one less row of book booths.
The 12-day long exhibition is regarded as the second largest book fair in the country with books of various authors and publishing houses on offer. Over the years, the event has been widely praised for its visitor-friendly arrangements which include adequate first-aid options, sanitary and parking facilities and refreshment counters.
