This current fair has a large section on Chinese books and I was surprised to find a number of booths from different religions as well.
Near the centre, Tzu Chi Foundation has a relatively large area promoting their variety of books (for all ages) & recyclable products (I think the price of the recyclable chopstick & spoon set will really encourage one to reuse it for years :P, a good gift) by very enthusiastic volunteers. You can find display of educational information on loving earth near their cashier & to promote care for environment, they will provide you with free reusable blue bags with purchases made.
Near the center end, there is photo exhibition on China Sichuan Quake Disaster that really touched many...
Just near the photo exhibits, look out for this Malaysia bookshop that is promoting their local Chinese comics 哥妹俩 for kids (at only S$1) which I find quite educational. It includes easy to understand comic explaination of Chinese idioms 成语 & a main story with a theme such as respecting parents via its comic characters. It seems to be very popular in Malaysia & well, just pick up a copy to read & you will understand why...Even adults can enjoy it...
The book fair will be held until 8 Jun 08...
