Annual Hong Kong book fair bans 3 exhibitors ‘without explanation'
The organiser of Hong Kong's annual book fair has banned at least three publishers and stores from this summer's edition without explanation, the Post has learned. Advertisement Two of them said they believed their applications were rejected because they previously sold titles which the organiser, the Trade Development Council, later asked them to remove. Bbluesky Publishing and Boundary Bookstore told the Post on Friday that they had received notices in late January that their applications to join the fair in July had been rejected with no explanations offered. They revealed that another publisher, which wished to remain anonymous, had also been banned. Bbluesky and Boundary also said they did not receive any reminders to apply for this year's book fair as had occurred in the past. The 35th edition of the fair will run between July 16 and July 22 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Advertisement The council declined to comment on individual cases.
