The whole point of a book fair is to showcase books. Of course, the Frankfurt Book Fair was no exception. After sharing about the activities, exhibitors and people I met in Vol. 1–3, I realised that I was missing a post that presents to you all the books. Alright, not all the books but definitely one all about books.
Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, Vol. 3: The Friends
Amidst all the books and programmes at the Frankfurt Book Fair (FBM), I did also meet people. Friends are more than half the fun at events like these and I gotta say, I’m exceedingly thankful for the company I had. There aren’t all that many photos since the lot of us is pretty camera-shy, but I did get a few snapshots.
Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, Vol. 2: The Programmes
After posting a general overview of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 (FBM) last week, here’s a closer look at the events and programmes that took place on the exhibition grounds.

Last month I found myself at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 (FBM) in Germany. It wasn’t something I had planned months in advance. In fact, it hadn’t even crossed my mind to attend until my father suggested it.

Thankfully the window for press tickets wasn’t closed yet, so I turned my day upside down trying to pull everything together.
Retrospect #82–83: August 2
Earlier this week I blogged about the SG50 warehouse book sale. I made it a point to pop by and obviously didn’t leave without books. All in all I hauled twenty books of which eighteen were for myself and two were for my dad. That stack is so massively heavy, I’m glad my parents suggested that I take along a hand carry luggage. Since I don’t drive, that saved me a lot of grief because weight no longer became an issue when selecting books.
