Find the perfect book on Constitution Hill at the SA Book Fair

The 2019 edition of the South African Book Fair will take place from September 6 to 8 in its new home on Constitution Hill in Johannesburg.

Primarily located in the Women’s Jail and spilling into the broader precinct, Constitution Hill provides a powerful context for the fair’s mission to locate books and reading in the everyday lives of South Africans.

South Africa’s most inclusive and diverse fair features a carefully curated literary and activations programme designed to facilitate lively and topical discussions around #OURSTORIES.

The fair also includes a dynamic marketplace and vibrant family zone, making it an unmissable event for the whole family as well as book lovers, engaged citizens and the publishing industry.
