     The Information Services Department (ISD) is taking part in this year's Hong Kong Book Fair from today (July 14) to July 20 under the theme "Enjoy the Pleasure – Reading for Leisure".

     More than 70 government titles are on sale at the fair, with most of them being sold at a 25 per cent discount or below. A number of specially priced books are also on sale including the "Hong Kong Culture Snapshot" series (Chinese version only) and "The Temple Gardens of Hong Kong", with discounts ranging from 60 to 85 per cent.

     The book titled "Bamboos of Hong Kong" published by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department in June will also be on sale at the fair. Introducing 61 taxa of Hong Kong bamboos in detail, the publication is bilingual and each taxon is illustrated by detailed morphological description and photos. Botanical illustrations are also supplemented to some species for assisting the public, nature and plant lovers, practitioners and researchers in understanding more about Hong Kong bamboos.

     Customers buying publications at the ISD booth may pay in cash or with Octopus card, and will receive a souvenir in return.

     To help save the environment, plastic bags will not be handed out at the booth. Purchasers are asked to bring their own carry bag.

     The ISD booth is located at Stall B37 in Hall 1B of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai.
