Read Malaysia

Yesterday went to Read Malaysia 2009 at the Mines

to me it is a book fair which would not attract me to go
reason:

1) Location - The Mines is too far away from my house
2) Transportation - The Mines is not very convenient to go if you are without car
3) Participating Distribution - Not much big book distributor except CITE and MPH
4) Type of Books - Most of the books are not the latest books available in the market. It seems like more of an warehouse sales to me as compared to a proper bookfair which would really attract me to go.

Despite all the bad points mentioned below, there are also good points
1) Parking - the parking fees at the Mines is cheap... and they are using the parking sensor system which can assist you to find a parking space easily.
2) Food - there are food stalls nearby the book fair which sells variety of foods if you are hungry after reading some books. there is even a stall which sell vegetarian food :P
3) Entrance Fee - yeah this book fair is FOC... nowadays.. there are nothing which is FOC... :)

so my star rating for this book fair is...
