Students free at 2007 Cape Town Book Fair

All students currently registered at tertiary institutions in South Africa will be able to attend the 2007 Cape Town Book Fair without paying.

Running from June 16-19 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, this is the largest book fair in Africa and features exhibitors from around the world. Students with a valid student card will have access to a full programme of events which includes book signings, debates, lectures, demonstrations and discussions by leading authors, academics, illustrators and publishers. Launched last year, the inaugural CTBF attracted over 26 000 visitors. This year the floor space has doubled in size and the accompaning programme has been expanded to over 470 activities. The theme of the 2007 CTBF is "More than black on white".
