Are book fairs worth attending?

Many cities hold book fairs where a large number of authors promote and sell their books. Book lovers and even casual readers will find some compelling reasons to attend.

• Local books that are generally unknown to the mass market
• A chance to engage with authors and celebrities
• Impetuous to look at books you normally wouldn’t consider in a large store or website
• Access self- published books from interesting characters

When attending keep in mind even the most notable authors are not really making money but rather seeking exposure and engagement with readers.
