April 23rd is World Book Day and Copyright Day.
The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia where on April 23rd,
St.George's Day, a rose is traditionally given as a gift for each book sold.
In today's context World Book Day aims to prioritize reading and publishing
and to promote protection of intellectual property rights through
copyrights.
Though World Book Day may seem just like any other "Day" declared to create
something out of nothing and generate more business, but it is actually a
rather symbolic way to show respect to authors who have contributed to
social and cultural progress.
"Reading sets your imagination afire;
It can make you larger than life and
Make your understanding of life so much more complete"
READ A BOOK !, GIFT A BOOK TODAY !!!
