Mainly adult non-fiction (think coffee table type books). Some kids stuff (more for young young children). DVDs, CDs. Stationery items. even saw household type items like designer hangers, door stoppers.

Solli, a bit lost here

Oh... the ever popular \"Popular\" fair? When will that be? Tot it will be end of the yr since the last one juz ended late last yr.

Popular fair coming end of May at Expo.

Hall 3

Time:
28 May: 10am to 3pm for POPULAR cardholders
3pm to 10pm Open to Public
29 May –1 Jun: 10am to 10pm open to Public

The one at Suntec was very good - but I think this is a separate affair from their usual one at expo. Methinks that Expo is more assessment book oriented (but I had only been to one so I can be very wrong).

Hi Blurbee,

For this bookfair, are the books sold here from independent book shop owners or from shops like borders etc, I remember going to Singapore Bookfairs when I was young (eons ago) haha but there was a wide variety then, how is it now, how is it different from a bookfair like MPH?

TIA

This bookfair has 100 exhibitors from 11 Asian countries.
DH likes to go as there are a wide variety. We will normally look for chinese books.
I seldom go to other bookfair so dunno the different.
Sorry unable to help u, maybe hquek can give better advice.
