UCLA gets to be the host and the BookZone is the home-base bookstore. I'd be hard pressed to think of something more gratifying. Browsing in a bookstore can often be a quiet and solitary experience. The Festival of Books is able to take the excitement of reading and turn it into a community event truly deserving of it's own name. There's so much to learn, see and do - so much fun to be had.
Admission is free to the public.
However, tickets will be required to attend author panel discussions and lectures. Tickets will be available free of charge at all Ticketmaster locations throughout Southern California. A limited number of tickets will also be available on-site. Last year, the Festival of Books attracted more than 100,000 visitors and included 400 authors and more than 250 exhibitors.
