Abu Dhabi, April 24 (IANS/WAM): Sweden will be the guest country of honour in the 23rd Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) April 30-May 5.

To be held in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and organised by the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and Kitab, ADIBF 2014 is expected to draw over 1,025 exhibitors from 50 countries and will showcase over 500,000 literary works from across the world.

Kitab, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) and the Frankfurt Book Fair, will continue to create synergy in the publishing industry at a regional and international level.

In addition to presenting Sweden as the guest country of honour, this year ADIBF will focus on the works of the 10th century classical Iraqi poet Al Mutannabi.

    Your books are so amazing! I really enjoy and got more information Thank you so much for this great book Fair!
    I am so grateful Bookworm Central is a Virginia Book Fair company. We do two book fairs a year and were burnt out on the vendor our community used in the past. We were definitely excited to learn Bookworm is a Northern Virginia Book Fair company, as it is very important to us to support local companies that provide a great service. Bookworm thank you for being a company we can be proud to partner with.
