In statements he made to a television program, Abdo stated that publishers are eager to participate in book fairs to revive the sales movement, and soon the Sharjah International Book Fair will be held on November 1, followed by the Tunisian fair that allows the presence of Arabic books, marking the beginning of the movement.
