The Ministry of Culture is finalizing preparations for the Santo Domingo's 2008 International Book Fair that will begin on 21 April and go on until 4 May.
The spotlight this year will be on the 28 Caribbean countries. The organizers of the large-scale cultural celebration have invited the Caribbean through the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) that is headquartered in Trinidad. This is the first time that not just one, but twenty-eight nations, is the Special Invitee.
Minister of Culture Jose Rafael Lantigua told El Caribe reporter Roira Sanchez that this year's event would be "special".
In addition, the fair is dedicated to the Dominican historical compiler Emilio Rodriguez Demorizi, who is a leading source of reference for historians and researchers.
The theme of the fair will be "Be seduced by reading." The event will again take place in the Plaza de la Cultura surrounding the National Theater.
