Edinburgh International Book Festival 2009

15-31 August 2009

Authors are notorious, as their publishers know, for running over deadlines. As Douglas Adams once said, “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they fly by.” So it’s clearly on the EIBF organisers’ minds to book the biggest authors early for this beacon of literary excellence, the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2009.

Free music, wine and networking. The Edinburgh International Book Festival 2009 has the hallmarks of a bestseller. Even if you’re more likely to pick up Mills and Boon than the latest literary sensation, you’ll find something to interest you, with events for children, young adults and budding new writers. Engage in debates, listen to readings and meet your favourite authors.

Make the most of the Book Festival with Edinburgh Apartments that are ideal to curl up in with your new books. Charlotte Square is where the EIBF 2009 will be held – book your Charlotte Square Apartments so that you’re able to star-spot even when you go grocery shopping!
