what goes on at the LA times book festival?

Answer 1

It is perhaps the largest book festival in the USA and it is being held this weekend at UCLA. There are over a hundred authors who will speak, read and give workshops. There are hundreds of book vendors who will be selling books. Authors will also be signing their books and meeting readers. There are a huge number of displays and kiosks showing books, pamphlets, publishers and items of interest. The festival covers everything from children's books to non-fiction.

It is free although some of the authors will have their auditoriums where they are speaking filled. It really is a wonderful gathering and anyone who is interested in books, reading or writing, should plan on attending at least once, or occasionally.
