Kilipirim opens for book, music and antiques lovers

The Mega Kilipirim Fair will run at Sala Dalles until March 21. It consists of an array of Romanian and imported books, music and audio-video objects and antiques such as collections of coins. As the title suggests – ‘chilipir’ being the Romanian word for ‘bargain’– prices are more affordable than in many bookstores, with discounts ranging between 30 and 70 percent. Visitors can also take part in a raffle, the four winners of which will go home with three kilograms of books from their area of interest – children’s books, literature, hobbies or business. Kilipirim will also showcase the first e-book reader in the country, which includes an electronic library in Romanian. The winners receive a memory card that contains 101 essential texts from Romanian literature. The Dalles Cafe on the first floor will meanwhile host an exhibition of photography which includes 60 works awarded by Nikon in 2009.
