MIBF is organized with Prime Trade Asia Inc ,same with the Best of Anime, held upstairs at Functions 3-4 last September 14-15.
This is the map I used while roaming around the book fair, the whole ground floor of the SMX were used for the fair. I love books so I was like in heaven and intoxicated while checking out the booths. I was trilled that companies I know like C & E Publishing, Inc, MSA Group, Inc, Rex bookstore Inc, St Pauls, Summit Media, OMF Literature Inc, Precious Pages Corp, Goodwill Trading Co, Inc (Goodwill Bookstore), Psicom Publishing Inc, National Bookstore and Fully Booked, participated the event.
National Bookstore
Psicom Publishing Inc.
Black Ink Comiks of Precious Pages Corp.
I bought their comics and the artist signed it , they also gave me a free baller.
Fully Booked!!! all of their books are on 20% sale, I bought City of Fallen Angels book and Shadowhunter's guide book from mortal Instruments. Most of the great books were already out of stock, I was just actually hoping to buy the soft bound version of the City of Bones but unfortunately, I only found 2 copies left of City of Fallen Angels, hard bound, but I didnt regret it, It is all for my love to the character of the said book , the warlock Magnus Bane. ( Watch the movie Mortal Instruments City of Bones and see how lovable that warlock is. )
Summit Media. I stopped by here before leaving the event ( cause I still have night duty for my work) , Luckily Papa Jack is having book signing sessions, and I did not wasted that opportunity. Bought the book from the summit's loooong line, then let Papa jack sign my book, he was interviewing me while signing the book, he is really talkative and funny hehe.
Best of Anime! I just passed by the area, entrance fee costs 250php so I didnt went inside. I miss cosplaying but I did not regret focusing on MIBF. It was really the ticket cost hehe
These were the books I bought, costs almost 2 thousand because of:
the hard bound Mortal Instruments: City of Angels, (770php 616php) , Mortal Instruments: Shadowhunter's guide (315php 252php), Everything i need to know about love I learned from Papa Jack (143php), 3 Black Ink comics (219.25php 175php) , I bought all except fourteen days and a kiss in the rain... sold out :(

A lot of the writers were invited for book signing and the likes of me, a book lover, would not waste that opportunity.
A really great experience for me, I was really intoxicated of all the books surrounded me. I love books, it practices my imagination and creativity thus these great writers take me a a great place and give me one of a great adventure.
See you guys next MIBF!
