Chinese books are taking over the book fair. I couldn't remember what are the chances of seeing English books...

I hope to see some books relating to art.

I'm pretty disappointed with the stuff.

Mostly it is about assessment books, "how to make your kids smarter" promotions and countless Chinese books.

I managed to get some books from the Times section, otherwise it was a waste of time.

Anyone looking for a wide range should wait for the Popular Book Fest.

The fair is getting worse every year, even the last Popular Sale at Expo could beat it to bits.

There is a little section for artsy stuff on the Times stall.

I bought three books anyway.
