Bookworms can shop for less at A Book Fair (CentralWorld, G/F, Atrium Zone) from 26-29 Jun, 08. During the event [which also coincides with Zen Midnight Sale. So dont forget your credit cards.], you can find a good range of paperback from A Book, a sister publishing house of A Day on sale as well as many interesting talks from A Book authors and mini concerts from indie artists.

Some of the highlights are:
