Tomorrow Tuesday July 15th, Amman’s International Book Fair will open at the Arab Community College, across the street from the Jordan University Hospital. Around 500 publishers are participating this year, local, regional, and international, with close to 130,000 Arabic titles and 35,000 foreign language titles.
