3. Hong Kong Book Fair

The Buzz -- For some people, there's just nothing like the tactile sensation of actually holding a book. Indeed, reading a novel on a PC can seem rather sterile. Luckily, exhibitions like this one are proof positive that the printed word is most defiantly not on its way out! The Hong Kong Book Fair brings in over 350 exhibitors, the majority of whom specialize in books, newspapers and journals. Along with publishers, there is also a good selection of educational games, toys and software, plus a few other surprises. This event is growing exponentially and attracts more than 750,000 visitors.
