All the Cuban publishing houses will be represented and in the case of local Ediciones Loynaz, it will count on 42 new titles edited and designed in the province.

In 25 years, Ediciones Loynaz has published over 400 books and that shows the importance of the Cuban state to fostering reading habits.

Last month, the national edition of the Fair took place in Havana, and it was dedicated to intellectual and essayist Armando Hart, and Canada was the guest of honour.
