If you are in London, you can find some of the most celebrated Georgian literature and publishers at the ongoing London Book Fair through Thursday.

Up to 100 translations of Georgian books published abroad are presented at the national stand, said the Georgian National Book Centre.

The centre shares a booth at the fair with the Georgian Publishers and Booksellers Association, while three publishing houses are also featured at the stand.

Siesta Publishing House, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press and Palitra L Publishing are all present to host visitors interested in selected Georgian literature.
