NOT for us those appalling comic books full of women with big thighs wearing long silver boots. Absolutely not.
But there was lots of other interesting stuff at the Book Fair, scene of the Great Comic Book Riot of 1993.
There is a stall from the China Olympic Publishing Company, a firm set up purely to publish books about the Beijing Olympics in 2000.
Among its titles: a large, glossy book about Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee. It is titled Samaranch: a true friend of China and has calligraphy on the title page by Deng Xiaoping.
Mr Samaranch is no doubt very tired of getting copies from well-meaning relatives who spot it on bookstands and think he might want one as a present - particularly given that it is not impossible that the Beijing authorities may have given him one already.
The cover, for some reason, is red instead of brown.
