Salon du Livre 2017: 40th Edition


Le Salon du livre de Montréal 2017
Montreal Annual Book Show

November 15-20, 2017

The very popular Montreal Book Show - Montreal Book Fair, a book gathering not to be missed, is once again taking place at Place Bonaventure. This is an annual event that celebrates Quebecers' pleasure of reading in all its forms and for all the public, demonstrating the love of the books and the passion of the words. 

This Show is for all : children, school group visits, neophytes, experts, authors, illustrators, readers and any other visitors. The physical space covered by the book displays and stands is so imminence, the variety of books offered  so vast that everyone will certainly find books for himself that will bring him or her knowledge, pleasure, and happiness. It is a place where the public can meet poets, novelists, essayists, authors and illustrators, as well as to discover many activities that take place at the Show.



This year, the Show features more than 2,000 authors and more than a thousand publishing houses. Exhibitions, dedications, meetings of authors and illustrators, animations, all this is taking place for six days of book adventures and discoveries at the Montreal Book Show 2017.


It is impressive to see how many children visit the Show during its first 3 days and how eager they are to to look at books, to read some passages inside them, to meet the authors, and especially to get the authors' signatures and to have them sign the books they bought. It is a real pleasure to see that regardless of our electronic age, the reading of physical books is so strong in children!



And don't forget about the upcoming Holiday Season when a book often is the best present one receives.
