Kolkata Book Fair Assignment


Students are requested to attend the Kolkata Book Fair 2013 being held at the Milan Mela ground off the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass. The fair is expected to run till 10 February 2013. Entry is free.

At the fair, students are requested to select five stalls (selling books, journals or magazines, other categories will not be accepted) and grade them according to a number of parameters, and write down comments about what they felt was good and what they felt was bad about the stalls they had selected. The parameters are listed in a form that can be used by students as a template. The form can be downloaded from: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByF9ybqRhNuAdUdRQlVvT20tb1E/edit

Please make an attempt to cover different kinds of stalls. Suggested stalls include the Elsevier stall, the Taylor and Francis stall, the Bookline stall, the Script stall and the Jadavpur University stall (Stall No. 296). Students are free to choose others as long as they sell books, magazines and journals. Try not to choose stalls run by houses that publish newspapers, as the content there will be greatly mixed.

The reports need to be submitted by Wednesday, 13 February 2013. Anyone unable to engage in this project must state in writing why they cannot do so. A comment on this post will be the best way of informing me.
