Hong Kong Book Fair

Hong Kong Book Fair

The Hong Kong Book Fair (zh-t|t=香港書展) is a fair organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, held annually (usually in the middle of July) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, selling and exhibiting books, printed matter, stationery, printing, compact discs and other multimedia publishing.

Although the fair was originally intended to promote the international book trade, it has become more of a local temporary market for Hong Kong people to buy books at concessionary prices. Books are on sale in several different languages, including Chinese, English and Japanese, and self study teaching books for other languages.

Books on sale included stories, fiction, jokes, prose, reference books, dictionaries, cookbooks, etc. There were formerly also comic books, but this section became so popular that a separate Hong Kong Comics Festival was launched.
