Hi all In two more days, Chennai Book Fair 2009 will be inaugurated by Dr. Abdul Kalam in St. George's Anglo Indian School (Poonamalle High Road). Any of you planning to visit? I am regular to book fairs.....love to smell those new books...mmmmmm....and thats possibly when I get my fitness routine by walking the huge ground ;-) Cheers Jenz
Jenz, I am a regular visitor every year. Just the look of the books are pleasant, I love reading. Do look up Kavitha Publications stall and our own Varalotti's books. I posted a photo of the stall and books last year in our forum, will do that this year too.
Hi Varloo I am also a regular visitor as long as am in Chennai. I was about to visit today...but looks like I will do only on Monday....trying to avoid weekends....because it would be too crowded and I need a lllllllllooooooonnnnnnggggggggg time to browse through the fair! Sure will check out Varlotti's book....already on the agenda Cheers Jenz

Hi, I had been to the fair yesterday and had posted about it in the ILiites Milestones forum with pictures. Please do check there. Hi Anudhivi, About the books you mentioned, you need to go and browse really. I don't remember the no of the stall. But you could walk along and easily find out. Do go during afternoon time so that crowd will be less. I plan to go again on a working day. Will you be going alone? If so, we could try to go together, meet at the entrance and then proceed. What say?
Hi The site bapasi.org also lists some key publishers and their stall numbers. Added to it they also have a floor plan...so if you are someone who doesn't fuss about reading maps and following it....take a look in their site! Am yet to visit....waiting for my day Cheers Jenz
hi gals, hm................ i miss the book fair............ and the book smell......... me and my pa go there every yr and collect lot of books every yr. have a good time.
