Sights from the Nairobi International Book Fair 2015

So the Nairobi International Book Fair 2015 ended yesterday at the Sarit Centre in Nairobi. It was a few days of literary goodness. The fair is a fair. This one is dedicated to those who want to know what books are out there from our Kenyan publishers and those who come from further afield. Here are a few images from the just ended festival.
