From today until June 6, the space in front of the National Palace of Culture will become a hospitable place for lovers of literature. 

The opening of the Spring Book Bazaar will go under the motto "Nine percent VAT on books for a more literate and educated nation." To this end, visitors will be able to sign a petition to keep the lower book tax rate as a permanent measure. 
On an area of ​​over a 1,000 square metres, 120 publishing houses and booksellers will offer their publications in specially built tents. Over 16,000 titles will be presented during the exhibition, and there will be book-signing events with authors.
