AQUILA POLONICA PUBLISHING
AT BOOKEXPO AMERICA & BOOKCON, CHICAGO, MAY 11-14, 2016
BookExpo America (BEA), the largest book show in the U.S., is in Chicago this year, and Poland is the featured country!
Aquila Polonica will be sharing booth space with the official exhibit by the Polish Book Institute, booth 1504/1505. We will be showcasing our titles, and are also bringing three authors who will be doing events at BEA and in the Chicago area all week. Download the press release with more details...
Since Poland is the featured country this year, Aquila Polonica conceived and organized a "Books in English" display as part of the official Polish Book Institute booth, curating a selection of more than 100 books in English about Poland—including works of fiction, history, cookery, music, and much more—by a variety of publishers and authors. You can download the catalogue to the Books in English display here...
