The silhouette of a longhaired beauty with red lips and a rose inside a book has seduced thousands of people to the XI International Book Fair in the Plaza de la Cultura. Students from both public and private schools flocked to the fair, which features 1,158 artistic displays, 64 theatrical performances, 10 art exhibits and 34 book-launches. Visitors to the fair may purchase books at reasonable prices, ranging from RD$25.00 to RD$500 for well-bound classics. The National Lottery contributed RD$300 coupons to students for use in the purchase of a book of their choice. One of the new attractions is the recreation of the house used by Dominican Founding Father Juan Pablo Duarte during his exile in Caracas, Venezuela. The life-sized exhibit was organized by the Duarte Institute, and features paintings of Duarte's various journeys and a smaller replica of the good ship "Leonor".
