A Book Fair
When we heard of this we were eager to visit the book fair. We discussed this with our teacher to visit this mega event. The teacher readily agreed and took us batch by batch to this event. We hired a big van and went along with our teacher to watch this grand event.
We all started for the book fair at 10 o’clock. It took 30 minutes to reach there. At around eleven, we were at the venue. We were stunned to watch this event. It was really a spectacle to watch. There were attractive hoardings everywhere. Security arrangements were tight. We had to pass through metal detector to reach the different halls. Each hall was segmented into many stalls managed by the respective publishing houses. There were local publishers, national publishers and international publishers. The stalls were attractively decorated. There was a huge crowd of people. Some of the stalls particularly those dealing in stationery and children books were thronged by the people.
Each stall was a delight to watch. They displayed children’s books, subject-oriented books, books on language and literature, books on performing arts, science and technology, books on software and hardware, banking and finance, Management and accounting, books on analog and medicine, books on law and income, books on cookery, health, beauty and fitness and religious books. In addition, there was a huge collection of dictionaries.
Every publisher had their own way to attract the public some were offering heavy discount while some other had gift schemes. Some publishers had made special sitting arrangement for the readers. There were cafeterias and ice-cream parlours. We bought books of our choice. I bought a book on Shakespeare. We came back at 5 o’clock. We enjoyed the visit tremendously. It was a memorable

    Dr. Mandler chose to create a publishing press for this book, the “Ergo Sum Press”: derived from Descartes,’ “Cogito Ergo Sum”: I think, therefore I am. “The major negative for looking for a publisher is the time period. [It takes] at least a year or two for a book to run the course of selection. I [also] wanted to retain control over what the book looked like. When you go with a publisher, you give up a lot of control of what goes into the book,” said Dr.…

    The editors analyze the aspects of commodity culture and advertising linked with Elizabeth Teare’s article, “Harry Potter and the Technology of Magic.” Giving several examples, the writer focuses on identifying the main claim of Teare’s article, “twenty-first-century commercial and technological culture” that shapes consumerist themes in children’s literature and the marketing of merchandise associated with children’s books and films. The author helpfully points out that whether or not you are a fan of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this article can be proven useful when the same thought process is applied to any fiction readers might enjoy. The editor’s perspective was very useful in narrowing down Teare’s main point from other claims made within the article.…

She gestured towards the bookshelves . (Bare-breasted African women danced, and the shiny hubcaps of automobiles on the back covers of the geographic gleamed in my mind.) I listened with respect. But her words were not very influential. I was thinking then of another consequence of literacy, one i was too shy to admit but nonetheless trusted. Books were going to make me “educated.” That confidence enabled me, several months later, to over come my fear of the silence.…

    Every day hundreds, if not thousands of families look forward to their local upcoming weekend activities. For some, it is the local fair that rolls into town with the rides for their children. Others, it is a walk on the water front with good food and drinks. For most, it is time to relax, have a cold drink, and enjoy things like Seafair in Washington State, or the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach for Southern California residents. Without local non-profit organizations, most of your favorite weekend activities would not exist. Non-profit organizations support many local events, as well as community programs that would not normally receive assistance. For a non-profit organization to flourish, it must have organization, structure, income, volunteers, a location, and events to move it forward. However, sometime with the fluctuation of the economy, it can make things difficult for the non-profit to move forward or even survive.…
