This weekend, you can refresh your library and find your next read because an outdoor book fair in Palermo is selling books starting at 1,000 pesos. What you can find and when.
If rummaging through and getting lost among stacks of books until you find the one you’re looking for, and browsing through tables of bargains until you stumble upon that classic you’ve been searching for for a long time are two of the best things that can happen to you on the weekend, then on October 10, 11, and 12, the Plaza Italia Book Fair is launching its last big clearance sale of the year.
The Last Big Deal of the Year: Books Starting at 1,000 pesos and Even an Old-Fashioned Portrait of Yourself
Book lovers! Buenos Aires’ oldest book fair (in existence since 1978) is celebrating for three days so you can search, discover, and find that book you’ve been waiting for. In addition to books of all genres, this literary fair features deals on vinyl records, manga, and comics.
The fair features 40 booths to explore, where you’ll be able to lose yourself among stacks of books to build your own library at unbeatable prices. What will you find on this tour?
- Something for everyone: New and used books. You’ll be able to find everything from literature and great classics to children’s books.
- Specialists’ Table: books on art and history, as well as titles on psychology and self-help.
- Study section: schoolbooks, supplementary reading materials, and college textbooks.
- Catalog gems and collector’s items: The perfect opportunity to take home not only books, but also comic books, vintage magazines, vinyl records, and postcards. And much more!
In addition to taking home a bag full of books, this fair has something very special in store. The team from @fotografosminuteros will be at the fair taking analog portraits with handcrafted box cameras. That way, you’ll take home a special memento—a black-and-white portrait of yourself—from your stroll among the books on sale in Buenos Aires.
Stop by from Saturday, October 10, through Monday, October 12. You’ll have plenty of time to browse because they’re open from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Don’t miss it.
