The 34th Manila International Book Fair

The country’s biggest and longest-running book fair kicks off it's 34th year today at the SMX Convention Center in the Mall of Asia Complex with the theme:
"Words Without Borders"

MIBF offers the largest and most varied collection of literature from e-books and general references to rare titles and graphic novels at the most affordable prices.

Also, in case you get hungry from all the book-shopping you just did, there are several food concessionaires in the area so you won't have to go out for a break!
