Brazil
The International 20th Biennial Book Fair
By Sao Paulo News Group (Originally in Portuguese)
[Sao Paulo] The Biennial Book Fair is a great cultural event
of Latin America and the 2nd biggest editorial market worldwide. This
year, the 20th anniversary of the book fair took place from September
14 to 24, Golden Year 5 (2008) and attracted 350 exhibitors from 14
different countries. Over 728,000 visitors attended the event and
around 2 million books were sold. Our Association members from the
Sao Paulo Center, Brazil introduced Master’s bestselling books-The
Birds in My Life, The Dogs in My Life and The Noble
Wilds. The guests, especially children, were enchanted by Master’s
love for animals. Our local fellow initiates had the opportunity to
distribute more than 100,000 SOS flyers to the general public! People
from all walks of life such as authors, educational professionals,
and editors were interested in the issue of global warming, and some
even asked for more flyers to share with their loved ones. ![]()
