The 16th International Book Fair to be presented in Granma from March 5th to 11th, will be greater than the last one for its organization, quality, initiatives and the number of works. The Revolution Square, of Bayamo, the Calixto García park of Guisa and the Céspedes park of Manzanillo, will welcome this reading party again, as well as communities, neighbourhoods and educational centres.

Born from the Battle of Ideas, the Bayamo and Orto publishing houses of the provinces capital and Manzanillo, are participating in the 16th International Book Fair in the Morro-Cabaña complex of Havana and will be also present in Bayamo, Guisa and Manzanillo cities. This year the fair will have a higher number of theoretical events and there will be greater exchanges among authors and readers in the culture facilities, communities, neighbourhoods, etc.

For the historical work lovers a special offer will be the book ¨Tigers of Cangamba¨ by the combatant Ramón Ramos Fajardo, a testimony of the battle won by Cubans in Angola, headed by Fidencio González Peraza, nowadays a retired colonel and Hero of the Republic of Cuba.
