World's largest floating book fair berths in Hong Kong

The world's largest floating book fair, with over 5,000 titles, has opened its doors at a berth at Ocean Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui.

The fair, aboard the Logos Hope, covers a range of subjects and book types including science, sports, hobbies, children's fiction, academic texts and more.

Hong Kong is the latest stop in a world tour that will take the 132-metre ship to 14 different ports until July next year.

The project is run by Good Books For All, which is part of a global Christian training and outreach movement.

"[Reading] is an issue mainly in the developing world," project managing director Seelan Govender said.
