The Shanghai Book Fair - the city's annual extravaganza for reading buffs - this year offered something new with a raft of Expo-themed books for sale.
Expo elements were shining at the fair as the city ticks off the time to the event with only 255 days to opening.
Readers browse Expo-themed books.
A huge China Pavilion model draped in red captured the attention at the central hall of the book fair, accompanied by two cute Haibao who welcomed visitors and invited them to take photos.
Models of a variety of Expo pavilions made of paper are also on display, together with Expo-themed post cards and stamps which presented a vivid picture of the trail of world exposition history.
Readers were able to find various Expo books that traced the event's history, taught Expo-related etiquette, elaborated on Expo architecture or promoted Expo-themed tour packages.
And readers' responses were enthusiastic.

The book "My Fate with Expo" written by Wu Jianmin, the former ambassador to France and former chairman of the Bureau of International Expositions, was popular, according to staff at the fair. Wu shared his World Expo experiences in the book as he and his wife Shi Yanhua participated in the bidding and preparation for the 2010 Expo.
Many readers recorded their best wishes and expectations for Expo, one saying "The Expo is an event for us all which demonstrates China's power. Wish Expo Shanghai a successful event."
The fair at Shanghai Exhibition Center on Yan'an Road will close today.
