A Book Fair I Visited

A book fair is an exhibition where different types of book ate displayed and sold. Nowadays it has become
very popular. A book fair is held to display the books of various kinds and taste with a view to creating
interest among the people to buy and read more and more books. I visited the Ekushe Bio Mela this year.
When I entered the main gate of the fair, I found a different environment. The main gate was beautifully
decorated. I entered the fair and began to move from on stall to another with great interest. There were about
300 book- stalls installed by different publishing houses. I saw all sorts of books such as fictions, novels,
poetry, children’s books etc. Men, women and children of all classes and ages gathered in the fair. Many of
them were found exchanging greetings with the customers. Books were being sold at discount rates. Many
rare books were also available in the fair. I wished I could have purchased all the books. However, I had not
that means. At last I purchased only two books named “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare. “Manab mukut” by
Eakub ali Chowdhury. In the evening, many poets, novelists and writers came to visit the fair. I many of them
and took their autographs. A cultural programme was also held in the fair. I was very delighted to enjoy a
staged drama based on the language movement of 1952. I was very delighted visiting such a fair. I gathered
some new experiences there.
