The 32nd edition of the Paramount Book Fair 2022, planned to be a hybrid event, will be organized from October 1 to 9. While the visitors will be welcomed at their outlets of Karachi and Lahore, the bookworms from all over the country as well as other countries of the world will also be able to participate in it digitally. 

The annual book fairs of Paramount Books (Private) Limited have been success stories all along for more than three decades with huge turnouts of people of all age groups, particularly students. 

Once more they will have the opportunity of buying books at heavily discounted prices. This time they will have the option of visiting the Paramount Book Fair or ordering the books online while sitting in the comfort of their homes or offices. 

The gates will finally be opened at Paramount Books during their book fairs after a gap of three years. The annual book fair could not take place at their premises in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 and online book fairs were organized instead in which the delivery of books was free of cost. 

Intellectuals, librarians, educators, researchers, teachers, doctors, engineers, accountants, bankers and management professionals, besides students and general readers, have been observed thronging the Paramount Book Fair which offers as high as 75% discounts on many titles. 

As in the past, a large variety of publications and educational material is expected to be offered for sale and huge turnout is anticipated once more as the 32nd Paramount Book Fair will remain open from 10 am to 8 pm daily from October 1 to 9, including Sundays and public holidays.
