Apart from providing an opportunity to meet and greet the author, the book signing will have lots of freebies in store for buyers of both books, and would give buyers a chance to help since part of the proceeds from the book signing and selling will be apportioned for a charity drive to provide new Christmas clothes and hygiene kits for orphans – so buy a beauty and fashion book for yourself and in the process, help poor kids achieve their fashion and beauty goals, too!

To be held on September 14 to 17 at 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. in SMC Convention Center, MIBF is a platform for beneficial partnerships highlighting more than 200 local and international exhibitors, showcasing the largest and most comprehensive selection of books, educational resources and engaging activities for everyone.
