KLIBF 2008

April 8, 2008 /

There’s a fair in town, the book kind. This year I am attending.

Actually, am helping (menyibuk) WiraBukit, my freelance employer at their booth. If you’re a big fan of A.Samad Said (Bapak), be sure to visit WiraBukit’s booth at Dewan Tun Razak 2, Booth No. 2088. He’ll be there everyday until the end of the fair (April 13 2008).

Titles available are Dirgahayu Dr Mahathir, Rindu Ibu, Keledang, Cinta Fansuri, Dari Salina ke Langit Petang, Bulan Tak Bermadu di Fatehpur Sikri, Ilham di Tepi Tasik, Rumah Rahsia, Yang Berat Sama Dipikul, Bendera di Atas Bukit, Adik Datang and Bapak’s latest book, 68 Soneta Pohon Ginkgo (sonnet collection). This book is fresh from the factory, you won’t find it in any bookstores just yet.

It’s selling like hot fried banana, so you better hurry and grab one. He will sign your copy personally and don’t forget to bring along your camera!

    Emila, Please help me. I need to get in touch with Kak Lina Usman Awang. We have lost touch for more than 30 years. Please ask her to contact me via my email. Your help is sincerely appreciated.
