The South African Book Fair 2015
Johannesburg 31 July - 2 August 2015
“Book lovers are an interesting breed. Happy to spend hours in quiet isolation,
thrilled at the thought of a crowded waiting room to grab a quick read, and
counting authors and characters as their friends”
The South African Book Fair believes that the world
would be a better place if everyone had the chance and the desire to read more,
and would like to inspire just that.
The Fair is about discovering books, discovering
reading, discovering an author you may love or a genre you can’t get enough of.
Discovering your ‘Bookself’. The South African Book Fair is a platform for
connecting, engaging and discussing, for learning about seasoned authors and
uncovering new ones. For large
publishers and smaller publishers supported by the FP&M SETA.
All Things Books Come Together In One Glorious
Celebration
This is the driving force behind the 2015 South
African Book Fair, organised by PASA (Publishers Association of South Africa)
in association with FP&M SETA.
A nation that reads is a nation equipped to move forward
Which is why, for the last nine years, PASA
(Publishers Association of South Africa) in association with FP&M SETA have
brought together a community of publishers, novelists, writers, e-publishers,
self-publishers and - most of all - book lovers, to revel in the love of books
and foster a culture of reading.
Held this year, for the first time, in Johannesburg at the historic and magnificently architecturally restored Turbine Hall in Newtown (managed with aplomb by The Forum Company) who have catered for this event with the most delicious snacks, coffee and champagne the three day Fair is a veritable playground for lovers of reading and culture.
The event is also highly recommended for anyone who has not as yet had the privilege of visiting the Turbine Hall in Newtown which is in itself alone worth travelling into Newtown to feel the heartbeat of this well loved property.
