Books Fair

Jerikó utca 17 Debrecen

After the highly successful visit in May, the Alexandra Publishing Company is arriving with an almost completely new stock and different books at incredibly favourable prices. In the course of the publishing work, a lot of books pass through hands; some specimens inevitably suffer minor or major defects. However, the perfect exterior is not everything: the inner values are the most important, especially in the case of books. At the book fair, not only defective books but books in perfect shape can be bought at discount prices. More than 15000 different  books can be bought from 100 HUF. The book fair is open from 10:00 a.m. until the stock lasts,  but the latest until  5:00 p.m. Paying by card on the spot is possible. Source: Szépséghibás és akciós könyvásár Debrecenben!ꟾ Facebook
