Riyadh Book Fair from 6 - 16 March 2012

Thanks for letting us know Amin.

Could you/anyone else share from experience:

Did you visit it last time? Are there any english books available? If yes, what sort of?

I'll definitely visit if there is some english stuff available.

The english view of the website just weird.

I visited it last year. There were English Books, but the fair was mainly focused on Arabic books.
English books were various including novels.
Yeah, the English version of the website has less information than the Arabic version.
