More than 300 Arab and foreign publishing houses are exhibiting at the Bahrain International Book Fair

More than 300 Arab and foreign publishing houses are exhibiting their latest publications at the biennial 10-day 15th Bahrain International Book Fair. Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the fair taking place at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre. Although initial turnout has been low due to anti-government protest in Sanabis over the weekend, stallholders, who include publishers and book shops from the Gulf and across the Arab world, said they hoped business would pick up in the coming days
