World Book Day 2008 is March 6th

World Book Day is a partnership of publishers, booksellers and interested parties who work together to promote books and reading for the personal enrichment and enjoyment of all.

Quick Reads are fast-paced, bite-sized books by bestselling writers and celebrities for adults who have lost or never had the reading habit, or avid readers wanting a short, fast read.

Spread the Word is the adult strand of WBD. The campaign focuses on adults recommending books to each other via postcards and email. In 2008 the public will be asked to vote on a longlist of 100 titles of fiction by living authors who have not won a major award. Ten shortlisted titles will then become the focus of Spread the Word: Talk about Books reading groups which will be held in libraries and bookshops on or around WBD. For more information, to add your vote, or enter the competition, visit www.worldbookday.com/spreadtheword/
