What do you think of the pseudo-models' books at the book fair?

The emergence of the 'pseudo-models' at the book fair has been the subject of heated discussion.

I have to strongly disagree with H.C. Bee who, using twisted logic, agrees that these young models should be allowed at the book fair (Talkback, July 21).

Your correspondent [Mr Bee] claimed that some people seemed to be protesting just for the sake of doing so, and that their protests were pointless.

In fact, these protests were staged with good reason.

The book fair aims to provide a platform for readers and writers and to help more Hong Kong people truly appreciate books of literary merit. It is trying to foster a reading culture.

I do not deny that many people have come to the fair with the primary aim of buying books at bargain prices.
