Japan is the World’s 2nd Largest Publishing Market. Today, July 13 was the last day of book fair. One of my friend, Mr. Guo zhen, who is originally from China during our Japanese lessons at OVTA told me about the 15th Tokyo International Book Fair. The venue was in Big sight Tokyo, around 10 minutes by train from Toyosu station. Big sight and Toyosu are some of Tokyo's posh areas.
Finding English books in Tokyo is a tiresome task. Manytimes I had felt sorry about myself saying shit about this trend. I was searching for such a book fair from the first week of my stay in Japan. Along with my Indonesian friend, I could enjoy purchasing books from TIBF.
There were 770 Exhibitors from over 30 Countries. As the leading event in the world's 2nd largest publishing market, TIBF is the best venue to find the latest releases in all genres - fiction & non-fiction, business & economics, education, how-to's, manga & comics, all types of magazines, and many other specialty books. As TIBF brings more business every year, the number of both exhibitors and visitors is increasing.
There were international publishers around the world will be joining TIBF, such as Asian exhibitors from South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and India, as well as those from all over Europe including UK, Spain, Belgium, France, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. As well, TIBF will welcome exhibitors from US, Canada, and Brazil. To be the Hub of Rights Trade in Asia TIBF Show Management offers an online “Rights Trade Support Service” for its participants.

English bookd were very less compared to the Japanese books. The used books section observed the peak of rush, with foreigners and Japanese people eagerly looking for books of their interest. We purchased some really useful books of our interest. The low price of technical books in Used books section surprised us.
Organizers had arranged stage programs for the visitors to relax and take interval during purchase. Ofcourse it was in Japanese ! no doubt, but atleast I could take some snaps !
