PLEASE UPDATE ABOUT IT GUYS.
After Music Festival at Chennai, it is time for the Chennai Book Fair. This time it's not at Quaid-E-Milleth College at Anna Salai. The Chennai Book Fair 2007 is coming up at St George Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School campus at Poonamallee High Road opposite to Pachaiyappas CollegeThe 30th Chennai Book Fair will be inaugurated by the Chief Minister on January 10, 2007. The office bearers of BAPASI - Book Sellers and Publishers Association of South India are upbeat about this year Chennai Book Fair.
Chennai Book Fair, this year , will be spread over an area of 25 acres, three times the area of the last year's venue. There could be 410 stalls compared to last years 310 stalls. Last year there were 5 lakh visitors and the organizers expect 12 lakh visitors this year.
Chennai Book Fair is rated next to the Delhi and Kolkata Book Fair, at all India level and large no of books are sold. This year, the organizers plan for exhibiting 4.00 lakh titles and the total books on display is expected to be around 400 lakhs.
The new location, on a 25-acre campus, has space for the parking of up to 1,000 cars and 5,000 two-wheelers.
With regard to the location not being in the heart of city of Madras, the organizers state that half the visitors to the book fair came by car and some 25 per cent by two-wheelers. For those who commuted by public transport the Chetpet and Nungambakkam stations were fairly close.
