A Bookish Event

George Bernard Shaw observed, “People get nothing out of books but what they bring to them.” Now through 22 April, the organizers of London’s annual Book Fair at Earls Court hope you bring a fervent interest in the book trade. You’ll have over 130 seminars to choose from, including topics on selling and marketing digitized works and children’s fiction. What better way to network than with 25,000 of your industry colleagues all under one roof. And each year a different country is highlighted to spur international dealings; this year’s focus is India. If you can’t make it, not to worry. You can download the podcasts and stay in the loop.
