The Sofia International Book Fair is organized each year by the Bulgarian Book Association.
The 29th Sofia International Book Fair runs from 7-12 December at the National Palace of Culture. This year the Bulgarian Book Association has extended the public forum to 5 days and lengthened the hours to 20:00 each day, with the hope of attracting more visitors to the exhibition, especially after work hours.
Book Exhibition
Over 110 exhibitors will display their works in an area of over 1000 square meters, in which visitors will have the chance to explore up close the latest books from around the world. Exhibition entry is free of charge.
Conference Theme
This year’s cultural program will include a conference discussing the theme: “European Practices for the Selection and Distribution of Textbooks.” Guests from different European countries will present reports, lead discussions and offer solutions to the problems faced by textbook publishers today.
