Friends, Right now the annual Chennai Book Fair is on, until 21 January. Year after year the number of stalls, the number of visitors, the number of books sold and the volume of business is increasing. There are talks by well-known writers, interviews, and surveys. More and more translations are appearing. Newspapers and other media outlets give prominent coverage.
