The Arequipa Book Fair 2009 (FIL 2009) closed doors yesterday, surpassing by far the organizers' expectations, who issued a press release informing about the official figures on sales and attendance during the 12 days that this fair lasted.
The Fair, that was held at the Libertad de Expresión (Freedom of Express) Park (in Umacollo), welcomed 85,000 visitors, and generated S/. 500,000 soles (almost US $167,000) in global sales.
A grand total of 24,000 books were sold, and the best seller was TV host Jaime Bayly's “El cojo y el loco” (The lame and the insane) which sold 940 books.
It was followed by journalist César Hildebrandt's “Tierra Nueva” (New Land), that sold 760 books, and the third best-selling book was Aldo Miyashiro's “Un misterio, una pasión” ("A mystery, a passion") which sold about 350 books.
The organization president, Martha Valencia Retamozo said the main aim now is to institutionalize the Fair and make it a permanent activity.
