Here’s how to make your book hunt a resounding success:

Set A Budget for Book Shopping

Before heading to the fair, set your budget and establish clear reading goals. What genres or topics are you interested in? Are you looking for specific authors or new discoveries? Create a priority list of your must-have books since knowing your objectives will narrow down your book hunt.

Get Social and Ask Questions About Books

Third, if you do not have a specific book in mind, you can engage with the passionate booth staff. Seek their recommendations, and don’t be shy to ask questions, they’re there to help you uncover literary treasures.

Arrive Early

Fourth, try to arrive early. Early birds often have the advantage of a less crowded fair, and can also help you secure popular titles before they sell out.

Plan Your Visit Over Several Days

Fifth, if you have some time to spare, you can divide your visits to the fair over a few days and conquer its booths one section at a time. This will not only make your visit less overwhelming but will also help you dedicate more time to locating your books and finding hidden gems.

On the contrary, if you don’t have enough time, I recommend that you wait for the second and third days of the fair and keep an eye on social media platforms for booth pictures. You can locate the books you need there, and the titles may spark your interest.

Take Your Time Searching for Books

Lastly, take your time to browse through books. Read a few pages or chapters to get a feel for the writing style. Book fairs can be exhilarating, but they can also be exhausting if you try to rush through them and it may cause you to overlook hidden treasures. Take breaks, grab a coffee cup from the top coffee houses in Amman, and savor the moments.
