Here's What You Can Expect from the 38th Manila International Book Fair

The Manila International Book Fair is a bibliophile's paradise—every year publishers, bookstores, and distributors from all over converge to sell books at discounted prices. The sheer volume and variety of books can be overwhelming—this year, the fair will occupy two whole floors of the SMX Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on September 13-17.
