| The Seoul International Book Fair volition run from June fourteen to eighteen this year. |
Basically, a bookworm is the larva of a wood-boring beetle that feeds on the newspaper as well as gum inwards books. In 1580 the Definition was start used to pull a individual who was unusually devoted to reading as well as studying. Actually, I don't know why the give-and-take is used for reading-addicted people, but when I intend about, it sounds corking to pull a individual who devours a mass overnight.
From June fourteen to 18, at that topographic point volition hold upwardly an international mass fair inwards Seoul that's organized yesteryear the Korean Publishers Association. The start mass fair was held inwards Oct 1947, nether the mention of the Educational Book Exhibition. After that, the fair was held intermittently, but from 2008 it has been organized yearly.

Since 2012, each twelvemonth a dissimilar province was designated every bit a Guest of Honor province at the mass fair. The start was mainland China. This year, it's going to hold upwardly Turkey. The argue for choosing Turkey is that 2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the institution of diplomatic ties betwixt Ankara as well as Seoul.
