Ah, London Book Fair.

How quickly it comes around. How quickly one forgets the long days of artificial light; the oft-recycled air; the caffeine-induced mania; the migraine-inducing carpets from ExCeL ...

Yet how one remembers the sheer buzz of the place; the bumping into friends and contacts ('oh, so you're X – it's so nice to finally put a face to the name!'); the giddy excitement of finding out what's going to be published in next 12 months; the publishers' parties and the rejuvenating power of a beer at the end of the day.

Booktrust will have a strong presence at this year's fair. We will be on stand Y265 to tell you about our work and give out examples of our publications, all of which we produce to promote books and reading.

In addition, we have organised, or will be involved in, a number of seminars.

So come and find us. We want to introduce as many LBF visitors as possible to our work, and we want to say hello to our friends old and new.
