On Saturday, March 7 (10:00 AM–7:00 PM) and Sunday, March 8 (10:00 AM–5:00 PM), it will be possible to purchase a huge selection of books at €10 per kilo at the former Cinema Astoria, as part of the ‘Ritorno all’Astoria’ project promoted by the Il Palloncino Rosso association, which has been working on urban regeneration since 2015.
Librokilo is a project that combines a love for books with a commitment to sustainable publishing.
Every day in Italy, more than 230 titles are published — almost 10 every hour*.
More than half of these books remain unsold and are returned to the publisher or distributor after just a few weeks, risking to be pulped because storing them costs more than destroying them.
Data published by the Italian Publishers Association (AIE) on the occasion of the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair.
