Book fair at Chandigarh

The book fair is going on at Sector-17, circus ground, Chandigarh. This fair is up to September 21 of this month.

Participants have come from the South, East, West and of course from the North. The publishing participants are NCERT, National Book Trust, Commission for Scientific Technical Terminology (CSTT), S, Chand & Co., Bharatiya Janapith, Sahitya Akademi Pushtak Mahal, Navneet, Har Anand Publications, Delhi Press, Raja pocket Books and Chandamama.

As usual books are very costly even after discount. Most of the encyclopedia, amazing facts, dictionary, proverb, stories and poems are available free of cost on net. The publishing houses should change their strategy and make available good stuff books at cheap prizes otherwise one day they have to trade the books by weight.

I made inquiries for a book on female foeticide but in vain. No one has book on female foeticide. I was fairly inspired to write a book on female foeticide.

The stalls other then books have been selling their products like a hot cake. The stalls related to electronics, house hold items, garments, special wood furniture, juice and fancy decoration cloth pieces are quite attractive.
