Book lovers: Visitors at the book fair in city on Thursday.
HYDERABAD: Have you ever wondered how the coast line of southern India was centuries ago? Or how the mutiny of 1857 was planned and executed? If you are a history buff or a research scholar then head straight to the Asian Educational Services (AES) stall at the 24th Hyderabad Book Fair being held at People’s Plaza, Necklace Road.
The AES publishers reprint travelogues, history and archaeology books written by historians and authors centuries ago. The oldest book reprinted by them is a biography of Fourth Viceroy of India: The Life of Dom John de Castro which was first printed in 1664, stall manager D.Mariappan informed. Inaugurated on Thursday, the annual book fair houses over 200 stalls of different publishing houses and publications. From educational books to the best sellers in English, Telugu and other languages, the fair also has on sale interactive cd-roms on different subjects. Spiritual and health books stalls dominate the fair this year while fiction and children’s books come a close second.
Interestingly, the Hyderabad Book Fair has gone ‘green’ by banning plastic bags. Over 1,50,000 paper bags have been provided by The Tulsi Group of Seeds to help decrease pollution, organisers informed.
The fair which will be on till December 27 was inaugurated by D. Sridhar Babu, Minister for Higher Education and NRI affairs and D.Manikya Vara Prasad Rao, Minister for Secondary Education.
