The number of titles has increased compared to last year which was 45,000, he said.

The cultural event has turned into a landmark, momentous book fair in the Middle East and Asia after 34 editions in a row.
Millions of visitors visit the fair every year, including thousands of university students, scholars, and their families. The event currently serves as the most significant cultural event in Iran.
