Although I mention this on my other blogs, I wanted to mention it here very briefly. Every year, UCLA becomes the base for the LA Times Festival of Books. For two days, the campus teems with authors, publishers, and discounted books. Among the many publishers in attendance, several are likely to provide foreign language books in some for or another, including:
- Lonely Planet
- Rough Guides
- Traveler’s Bookcase
- Tuttle Publishing
- Distant Lands
oTraveler’s Bookcase, if I’m recalling correctly, offered Lonely Planet phrasebooks at 50% off. (Of course, I stocked up on about 20 titles.) Many other publishers will be there as well, although the selection varies from year to year.
For more info on authors, vendors, directions and all the other details, check out the LA Times Festival of Books info page.
