Firsts at the 20th New Delhi World Book Fair

'Fair News'

With the fair getting bigger and better this year NBT had introduced many things for the first time. The information kiosk was one of them. These kiosks available at all the halls exhibiting books at the fair were found to be of extremely useful as they contained information about the various features of the book fair and which hall was hosting what genre of books. It also contained a Publication wise list that gave very specific and pertinent information.

The second new entrant at the fair was the 'Fair News', published daily. The leaflet contained news from the previous day's activities and informed the visitors to the fair about the events lined up for that day. The leaflet was full of photographs and detailed descriptions of the events of the book fair so as to not make up for what you may have missed at the fair. National Centre for Children's Literature published a daily mail exclusively for children discussing children's workshops, books and comments of the visitors to the children's pavilion.
