The 27th edition of the São Paulo International Book Biennial which ended on Sunday (15), recorded the largest audience at the event in the last 10 years.
There were 722 thousand visitors in total, surpassing the previous edition, in 2022, by 9.39%. With an 83% increase in the average daily revenue compared to the 2022 edition.
A space for new releases and books that are already successful, it is unlikely that visitors to the Book Biennial will leave the event empty-handed, without taking home at least one copy.
