Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of September LIBROKILO will come back to Bologna and it will be possible to buy lots of books at €10 per kilo.
After last year's great success, Librokilo returns to Bologna with a huge selection of books rescued from the scrap heap.
The appointment is confirmed at DumBO's Spazio Bianco, a place of urban regeneration returned to the city for collective moments dedicated to culture, art and social innovation.
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.
