The Buenos Aires Book Fair is eagerly awaited every year by bibliophiles in the Argentine capital. More than a million people head for this three-week event at the La Rural exhibition complex.
Alongside the events for specialists and publishing professionals, there are exhibitions and book sales of literature in all languages, educational activities including discussion forums - sometimes on the internet - roundtables, book readings, presentations and signings, courses, workshops and activities for children and adolescents - all divided into international and national sections.
Each year runs special lectures. In the past they have covered the history of jazz, workshops on scriptwriting and the history of Argentine art, all given by leading professors and lecturers.
