Why visit Book Fairs?
Get good discounts. During fairs, publishers and distributors offer list price for their books. You may haggle for the best price face-to-face as well.
A wide array of seminars take place. For librarians and librarians-to-be, this is a good opportunity to attend seminars that interests you.
A networking opportunity. This is a good chance to meet with the publishers and other book distributors that you may not yet know of. It's good to know what type of books or materials a certain publisher is publishing.
Bonding with the faculty. Since we rely mostly on the faculty's subject expertise, most of us bring them to book fairs. Well, this is also a best time to really bond with them and extend our relationship to them beyond hi-hello-do-you-need-anything. (Just in case you don't get to talk to them as often as you'd like to.)
And if I may include, you get freebies also. :)
There you go.
See you there!
