Хорошо, что такие ярмарки объединяют издателей с обоих берегов Прута. Интересно, что Иван Пилчин сказал про процесс редактуры — может, кто-то из Самары поедет, посмотрит новые книги на румынском? Жалко, что у нас в Самаре такого большого книжного фестиваля нет.

Хорошо, что фестиваль собирает издателей с обоих берегов Прута, это дело нужное. Иван Пилчин правильно сказал про то, как интересно смотреть сам процесс — новые книги всегда любопытно полистать. У нас в Ярославле тоже ярмарки бывают, но такого размаха, как в Кишинёве, пока нет.

A book is always a good thing, I'm glad that publishers from both sides of the Prut come together. Ivan Pilchin is right, the most interesting thing is to see how a new book is created, from manuscript to printing. We don't have such big fairs here in Nis, but at least we have a couple of good bookstores where you can find something in Romanian.
