The annual festival, for readers and publishers in Shanghai, will culminate on Aug 19 with 1,267 reading-themed activities scheduled to take place.
This year's Shanghai Book Fair has expanded from its main venue at Shanghai Exhibition Center to a second venue in the Shanghai Book Mall, significantly increasing the fair's floor space to an unprecedented 42,000 square meters.
As one of China's most important book fairs, the event welcomed over 300,000 visitors and achieved a sales volume of nearly 50 million yuan ($6.97 million) last year, a significant 35 percent increase from 2023.
