Book Fair Leipzig is coming soon, again

Only one week is left until the "halls of the books" will open again at Leipziger Buchmesse (Book Fair Leipzig) and MCC - Manga-Comic-Con.

Publishers and authors will use their chances to introduce their latest books to the audience. The booths always invite to read the new stuff they offer and very ofetn more than that - many publishers, especially the big ones have events like meet and greets, autograph sessions or a reading with their authors.

There's always something to find for everyone and not just the "traditional" books, because there's also the Manga-Comic-Con... where you can find Cars and Flowers - just joking - as you can imagine you can find many manga and comic related booths and many other that share the same topic, e.g. Cosplay. Cosplayers belong to that scene like BBQ sauce belongs to beef. Back in the days when manga where not as famous as they are now, you only had a few cosplayers in the halls and the acceptance by the other visiters was quite small. But now it's accepted (as long the cosplayers behave and don't creep around like weirdos - you always have some black sheep) and some people who never read a manga, comic or saw an anime ever before also come to see the colorful costumes, take pictures and value the effort of creating those armors and dresses.

Beside books, Manga and so you will also find a few video game publisher like Nintendo where you can try their latest games, especially their new console Nintendo Switch - I highly recommend trying it out - The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of the best games of the last decade.

The Book Fair opens from March 23 - March 26 10:00-18:00 - only one week is left, I hope you will enjoy it.
