Last week I went to the International Nairobi Bookfair. Held at the Sarit Centre in Westland. We live 22 minutes walk from the Sarit Centre; thus, I left the kids with the babysitter, and walked to the fair. This was a life time experience, have never seen so many people who took pride in what they're doing. More than 70 publishers, hundreds editors, and authors were seen everywhere. Children from different schools filled the place like a can of beans. It was interesting to see children as young as 8 years bargaining to get the best prices. Books, from children novels, to educational materials, religious, where displayed. It was such a good feeling to rub shoulders with editors, collect business cards, and share knowledgeable thoughts.
