The recently concluded Karachi International Book Fair was declared a big success, with more than 200 Pakistani and international publishers attending as the annual event celebrated its 7th anniversary.

From the 16th to the 20th of December, Karachi’s Expo Center was open for families and students to ruffle through the pages of scientific, poetry and pose, novels, magazines and much more.

Top publishers of the country as well as foreign publishers were present bringing with them a diverse plethora of books. Many of the publishers were also offering discounts as well as memberships to book clubs. Wide-ranging cultural events and amusement programs were also organized for children on the sidelines of the fair.

Below are a few pictures taken during the course of the fete.
