Titles from 182 publishers will be available in 176 booths during the Book Week on Vörösmarty tér and the Duna-korzó, running June 9-12.
A number of municipalities across the country will join the event, which also features book presentations, music and family entertainment.
Katalin Gál, president of the Book Publishers and Distributors Association, told a press conference that with the passing of the pandemic, more than the usual number of publishers have registered for the Book Week.
She added that a shortage of paper, rising printing press prices and inflation as well as the economic crisis are making the position of publishers difficult this year.
The book week will be opened by writer Péter Nádas and the four-day event will have more than 60 book presentations, along with concerts and other events.
Detailed program - in Hungarian - available here.
