India to be Guest Country at 2010 Turin International Book Fair - LateRooms.com
The Turin International Book Fair is set to be a feast for literature-lovers everywhere, while those with an interest in Indian writing may be particularly intrigued.

TURIN, ITALY, April 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Literature fans may be rubbing their hands together in anticipation of the 23rd Turin International Book Fair, which kicks off in May and sees India take on the mantel of guest country.

The event takes place at Lingotto Fiere, an old Fiat plant transformed into an exhibition centre in 1985, with publishers attending to discover new talent or thrash out negotiations with current writers and the general public arriving to enjoy the huge array of books and cultural activities that go on.

While two sections are devoted entirely to trade professionals, there is plenty for travellers at accommodation in Turin to do and see.

Among the Indian writers who will be attending the show are Q&A author Vikas Swarup and other top names such as Anita Desai and Anita Nair.

"The secret is a formula that blends harmoniously different components and which makes it unique both in the panorama of professional fairs and in the galaxy of cultural and literary festivals that have sprung up all over the place in recent years," remarked the organisers.

Full price tickets cost EUR8 (GBP7), but there are various concessions available for anybody working in the industry.

The show is open from 10:00 to 22:00 (local time) on Thursday, Sunday and Monday, while Friday and Saturday will see the display stay open for another hour until 23:00.

"The Turin International Book Fair is likely to be popular," said Jess Reading, head of marketing at LateRooms. "LateRooms strongly recommends people considering attending to book hotel Torino as soon as possible."
