The event has drawn 140 domestic book publishers and 40 foreign publishers from the US, the UK, France, and Singapore. Nguyen Minh Nhut, vice chief organizer of the event, said: "This year’s fair is bigger than previous ones. We created a free reading and play zone for children and reserved an area for discussions on copyrights."

The week-long event is expected to attract 1 million visitors.
