Bandar Seri Begawan – Goodwill Bookstore - one of the biggest and oldest publishing chains in the Philippines - is for the first time participating at the Brunei Book Fair 2007 in Berakas to look for potential distributors for its pre-school, medical books and other publications.

Based at the Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex Indoor Stadium from February 25 until March 6, the bookstore has been catering to the requirement of some 5,000 establishments in the Philippines - from universities and libraries to department stores, supermarkets and even other bookstores.

"Based on our experience as book distributors mainly in children and medical publications, we are now expanding our market to Brunei and shall be interested to talk with local bookstores which are interestedin distributing our publications in the Sultanate," said Beth Dumlao of Katha Publishing Co. Inc, an affiliate company of Goodwill Bookstore.

The exhibitor - at Booth 36 - is mainly displaying its pre-school materials and medical books as well as college textbooks.

The pre-school books are written in English by established teachers and owners of schools and are popular amongst pre-school establishments in the Philippines, she said.

"Our medical publications are authored by renowned university professors in the Philippines. We also have teaching materials for teachers," she added. Apart from pre-school and medical books, the bookstore also has books on accounting, general education, trade books, children's storybooks, references and other quality reading materials. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
