Reading books is one of those habits

, that everyone has and this is something that has been for a very long amount of time getting knowledge as well as getting to know more stuff about a lot of different scenarios and interesting aspects is something that everyone has a particular interest in or at least would want to be loving to know and that particular interest is captured by the essence of reading books which is something that has been dis sem very long amount of time and this particular interest is getting a bit diverted towards the digital way that the transaction is happening right now but that's the fight of that fact reading books is still one of the most done activities by human beings even today.

Having something physical on your hand while getting information and also getting a field of that particular aspect by just reading it is something that only books can give you definitely can have similar kind aspects while reading an ebook but the pure essence of reading is going to come with a particular physical book only any movie or any digital podcast or any of those things which we do have to happen existing in the world right now I am not going to match the level of comfort that books has to offer.

The book industry is surely one of the biggest industries in the world as we have seen a lot of prominent authors make their way into the industry and rise very rapidly with their creations which gives this field a very creative edge over other industries and makes it one of the most popular industries as well and also utilizing that habit of reading of a huge amount of people throughout the world I'm keeping them engaged with a lot of different things right from stories new information and what not.

There has been a slow transition in this industry as well as the environment of the digital economy that we are seeing right now which has penetrated itself into all of the industries that do exist is something that has taken the book Industry that Happens to Exist from a very long amount of time a hit as well. Books are now mostly sold through online platforms which was rather traditionally done through bookstores or different offline channels which did give everyone a fair chance to compete in the market and this online space, it has become quite hard for new authors to make their way up the ladder.

One of the most popular ways with which everyone gets a fair Chance At showcasing their creations and their publications is through the book fairs that happened to exist every nerve then and that is something which is a very big event over here in India and in this article I am going to be covering one of those massive International book fairs that happen every single year in India.

The Kolkata International Book Fair of 2024 happened between the period of January 18 and January 31 and it was a massive success as it pulled in a huge amount of crowd over these days and ensured that there was a platform for everyone to showcase their publications and give everyone a very nice time in the week. People throughout the world and across the country did reach out at the book fair and there were massive amounts of crowds that were seen every single day as turns of books were sold every single day.

Each year this book fair happens and there is a huge amount of selling that happens to be done every season the book fair of this year was the biggest ever book fair in Kolkata as it did cross the highest number of stalls it ever had and it has now crossed over 1000 which makes it the biggest ever Kolkata Book Fair in the history.

The Kolkata book fair is a historic event that happens every year as a matter of fact, this was the 47th book fair that Kolkata hosted and it has been happening every single year the venue of the event has changed over the years but the iconic nature of the event has remained the same and the essence is still the same that it had even before so many years and the number of people who are visiting this particular event is easily one of the biggest in the entire country if we are talking about book fairs.

This book fair gives everyone a fair opportunity to showcase their talent because in this world of online selling of books many small publishers do not get the eyeballs that they might have gotten in the previous era and this book fair, everyone gets affairs short added as their able to provide their books to a very huge amount of audience which is something that they might not have got otherwise and also this book fair is one of the only chances of selling books for a lot of small publishers and new and emerging authors as well.

The online sale of books has dented the popularity of the book fair quite a bit but even then it is still one of the best events that exist in the country for sure because book readers are one of those people who exist in the world at all times and that is something that can't be taken out of a human being as it is one of those habits that gives a particular person a lot of peace and one of the advantages that the book fair has over the online sale of books is that you get an in-hand experience of the particular book that you are thinking about buying rather than just looking at a few images online and making a decision of the purchase.

Another big advantage that the book fair has is that there are going to be a lot of such books that are not going to be available at any place other than the book fair itself as a lot of publications make it exclusive for only selling it during the time of book fairs. Another interesting fact about the book fair is that there are not just books that you will find in the book fair there is going to be a lot of Art on display as well because a lot of artists are also invited to showcase their talent as well. People are also admiring those activities as well which is something that makes the book fair a very interesting event with a lot of other activities to be looking at as well.

Various types of artists are available at the book fair and occupying a few stalls as well making it an event filled with a lot of talent and this is something that is helping to bring in more interest towards the particular book fair that happens every single year and the artist are also benefited from this as they also get the eyeballs that they dose deserve and might not have got otherwise if this book fair did not existed. You can look at the artist's works and be very much in admiration for their dedication as well as the hard work that they do while preparing these particular drawings and their Creations.

I myself visited the book fair during the days that it happened and it was one of the best experience is that I definitely had in the recent times as the atmosphere over there was so electric with so many people and so much of activity to be done rather than just buying books or experience in books and also looking at a lot of artworks there was a lot of knowledge to begin and just the environment over there which was present was something that can't be explained as so many people are over there who are just looking for something that you might not find anywhere else also a lot of international stalls who came out from different nations such as Germany United Kingdom and lot of other countries as well, along with that there are a lot of other activities that you can we getting yourself into such as there are a lot of food stalls and a lot of the fun activities which include making yourself a portrait too as well which are going to make sure that you are bound to have a great time for sure.
