Hi all returned from the inauguration of book fair. former prez abdul kalam didnt turn up but a large crowd did tun up to see him
girish karnad and historian s.muthiah were honoured.
the real action will start only on saturday but a lot of stall owners were apprehensive about sales this year. with the economic meltdown many felt books would be a last priority for the customer.
lots of new books seem to have come this year and a host of new publishers.
