Random passers-by were greeted by an unusual scene on Hagerman Street in Toronto. Luzinterruptus, an anonymous art group from Spain, which is famous for interventions in public spaces (similar to our Prostoroževka), covered the street with ten thousand books!

In March of this year, you could pay for coffee or tea with a poem in 49 Slovenian bars during the Pay with a verse campaign. Feri Lainšček collected the best and created the poetry collection Momentek, which contains everything.
The Slovenian Book Fair is already turning over its 32nd page. The Slovenian Book Fair 2016 will take place from November 23 to 27, 2016, and it will traditionally take place in Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana. This year's fair will be opened by the author and filmmaker Elisabetta Sgarbi, the longtime editor-in-chief of the Bompiani publishing house, who in 2015 founded the independent Italian publishing house, Il nave di Teseo, with the support of the writer Umberto Eco. This year's country of focus is Italy. In five days, the fair will serve up 3,000 new books at 100 exhibition spaces.
Have you ever spilled water, coffee, or anything else on your book or got it wet in the rain? Then you know your book will never be the same again as the pages wrinkle and stick together. But it doesn't have to be like that! All you have to do to prevent both is to use this cheap and easy trick. The book will thank you!
Most people know Salvador Dalí for his bizarre and at the same time beautiful paintings, such as The Persistence of Memory, in which clocks are melted. Did you know that this famous Spanish painter also wrote and published the cookbook Les Diners de Gala? After 40 years, the extravagant book - there are only 400 copies in the world - has been reprinted and a copy can now be yours!
Did you know that trees have emotions, memory and feelings, that they communicate with each other and care for each other? Amazing things happen in the forests, which the forester and 'tree whisperer' Peter Wohlleben sheds light on in his book. His book The Hidden Life of Trees, which became a global bestseller, was also given a documentary film Intelligent Trees, which offers us a unique insight into the mysterious world of trees and teaches us to admire the wonders of nature. With this realization, those living trees from The Lord of the Rings make a lot more sense.
Not only a new movie, but also a new book from the erotic Fifty Shades of Gray series. Writer EL James is already writing the book Fifty Shades Darker From Christian's Point of View, which will tell the story of the second book, Fifty Shades Darker, from the perspective of mogul Christian Grey. The author of the books Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades of Darkness and Fifty Shades Freed already did the same with the story of the first book, when she published a novel called Grey, which tells Fifty Shades of Gray through the eyes of the main male protagonist.
A new Guinness Book of Records has been published with the year 2017. Among the 4,000 new records that have further thickened this bible of records (from 1955 to the present, more than 136 million copies have been sold), there were also seven Slovenian achievements. Among other things, we now officially own the chocolate record with the largest area, the record for the longest distance traveled on a stationary bike, and the indoor 800 meter run record.
After the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has already hit Slovenian bookshelves, we have already learned when the eighth book sequel about the famous wizard will be published in Slovenian. The translation of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which will bear the title Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, will be published by the beginning of the Slovenian Book Fair.
The wait is over! On Sunday, July 31, 2016, the English edition of the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), the eighth book continuation of the series about the famous wizard, who anchored himself in the hearts of too many fans of fantasy films and books, will be released. The release date is no coincidence, because on this day Harry Potter, now a burnt-out bureaucrat of the Ministry of Magic, husband and father of three children already in school, celebrates his birthday. You can already pre-order the book in English, and it will be available in Slovenian bookstores from August 1, 2016. It is not yet known when Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be released in Slovenian.
