Hello

The World Book Fair and Kolkata Book Fair have started in New Delhi and Kolkata respectively. In the last three months, there have also been book fairs in Bangalore, Bhopal, Chennai, Mumbai, and Thiruvanthapuram in addition to the Jaipur Literary Festival which has been widely written about in the mainstream press.

While we have continuously been writing about the considerable investments by printers for book production, our initial coverage of the Delhi and Kolkata fairs is in this email newsletter. Detailed coverage of the book fairs will follow in our print issues as well as future newsletters. In addition, we have a sneak preview of IFRA Expo 2010 and the launch of the Apple iPad. Pragati unveiled its 2010 calendar recently with the theme ‘Future Wise.’ Get the latest news in our newsletters and on our website.
